The new summary:
* On the source system there will be process listening on a network
socket. In the first implementation it will use a checkpoint
directory as the basis for the UFFD pages and in a later version
we will add the possibility to transfer the pages directly from the
checkpointed process.
* The transport protocol between the source system and the UFFD daemon
on the destination will be page-server based (something like Mike's patch)
* The UFFD daemon will be able to handle multiple restore requests
(also Mike's patch "lazy-pages: handle multiple processes")
to restore a whole process tree.
* For each restored process tree a new UFFD daemon is started.
* The UFFD daemon is either started manually on the command-line
or automatically started by the restore process.
* The UFFD daemon reads all required information (besides PID and UFFD)
from the checkpoint directory.
* The UFFD daemon is the instance which decides which pages are pushed
when via UFFD into the restored process.
Right now I am trying to find the minimal required points to get this
implemented. Once this is done we can continue from there and start more
discussions.
