Ok, will try to reuse it.

I need to open() the statefile and pass its fd to app_checkpoint().
If I don't check for directory, the open() below would fail, only
because of the O_RDWR flag. By checking, we could give a more useful
error message ?

Agree. How about just the stat() and the error message ?

Maybe later we could bury this code under say #ifdef USERCR so
if LXC is configured without USERCR, the current behavior is preserved ?

Agree.
