Guess I'll just be offensive here and say, straight-out:  I don't
believe it.  Can I see the userspace implementation of c/r?

If it's as good as the kernel level c/r, then aweseome - we don't
need the kernel patches.

If it's not as good, then the thing is, we're not drawing arbitrary
lines saying "is this good enough", rather we want completely
reliable and transparent c/r.  IOW, the running task and the other
end can't tell that a migration happened, and, if checkpoint says
it worked, then restart must succeed.
