Hi Kosaki,

the idea on user-space is something like

 - collect all pids to dump
 - collect IDs for every pid
 - sort the IDs obtained
 - find the same IDs (which will be kind of find intersections in a sets of IDs) and
   set up CLONE_ flags on restore procedure as appropriate (for example if
   GEN_OBJ_ID_VM IDs for two or more tasks are the same we need to use CLONE_VM
   at restore time, and so on).
