This means that CRIU cannot dump _only_ one end of a connection.
If both sides are in dump, CRIU can handle it.

I agree it might worth implementing it, but we what are the use-cases? If
you plan to dump only the process A, then you will not be able to live-migrate
it, since unix sockets don't work across network, so what's the reason?
