I'm working on integrating criu directly into lxc, so there can be
commands like lxc-checkpoint and lxc-restore. If I understand things
correctly, we'll either have to run a criu daemon all the time, or
spawn one when they run lxc-{checkpoint,restore}, do the checkpoint or
restore, and then kill it off. It seems much cleaner to me just to
have a set of library functions that we could do this with in process.

I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of using the RPC, I just
figured it probably wouldn't be that hard to get at least a tiny
libcriu going that would do what I needed.
