Andy, so for old criu versions (prior the 1.5.1 which is Mar 2015,
in next versions we already write proper ss into the images)
we've been providing __pad = 0, which is ss in a new meaning,
and the kernel will overwrite it with @user-ds after this series,
correct? This should work for us. Stas, mind to refresh my memory,
which ss value doesmu setups here?
