As someone said to me a little bit ago, for migration or checkpointing
ultimately you have to capture the entire user/kernel interface if
things are going to work properly. Now if we add this facility to
the kernel and it is a general purpose facility. It is only a matter
of time before we need to deal with nested containers.

Not considering the case of having nested containers now is just foolish.
Maybe we don't have to implement it yet but not considering it is silly.

As far as I can tell there is a very reasonable chance that when we
are complete there is a very reasonable chance that software suspend
will just be a special case of migration, done complete in user space.
That is one of the more practical examples I can think of where this
kind of functionality would be used.
