Marc,

	We are quite aware of and appreciate openvz's many kernel
contributions. Please consider the context of Oren's reply above. I was
talking about checkpoint/restart not being in the mainline kernel. I
am not aware of any openvz checkpoint/restart code in the mainline
kernel. [ Cc'ing Pavel so he can correct me if I am wrong. ]

Cheers,
