btw, some questions regarding the overall project: do you guys actually
have working userspace code which can at least partially perform a c/r?
What state is all this in?

I'd be a bit concerned if we're putting code into mainline which has
not been demonstrated to achieve any form of successful
checkpoint/restore.
