Thanks for the explanation.  As to what I'm doing I'm creating Docker
containers using the command:

docker create --net=host --security-opt seccomp:unconfined <docker image>

Then when I restore the checkpoints I'm using the command:

docker restore --force --image-dir=<path to image> <docker container>

I'm not sure exactly what low-level commands this translates to.  I'll try
to take a look later.  Some of the people who worked on the Docker CR stuff
might be following this list and have a better idea.

Also I've been using the --net=host option as a workaround for the
checkpoint/restore in Docker not having networking fully working when I
started using it.  But I read that there was some progress with getting
networking working with Docker CR (
https://github.com/boucher/docker/releases/tag/v1.10_2-16-16-experimental).
I haven't tried with the steps described there yet, but I'm planning to now
to see if that solves the issue I'm having or not.  I'll update the list
later to say whether or not it works.
