OK, makes sense. But since this is quite generic feature, I think it
makes sense just to provide such a script (in scripts/) directory with
a help text how to feed one to criu dump/restore actions and the list
of files to be taken into the script.

Eugene, Svyatoslav, would you rework the patch accordingly?
