That makes sense.  There seems to be some work along these lines
already pending:
https://github.com/avagin/criu/commit/80afa684396db39a1e14f842e1d442acd871965a

I'll probably take a closer look at this after the pending patches
have started to land in the kernel and criu.  For now, I'll try to
concentrate on areas of the code that are less actively under
construction.  That will make it easier to avoid bumping in to others'
work.

Thanks,
Richard.
