In kernel userspace process checkpoint support?

Folks,
I sent this mail out on Wednesday and no one answered. (3) There's been
a bunch of stuff going on, what with 2.3.0 and 2.2.[89] released so
recently... I figure my question just got lost in the noise. So here goes
again:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone give an official word regarding kernel process checkpointing
support? "Eduardo Pinheiro" <edpin@cos.ufrj.br> has a checkpoint patch,
EPCKPT(1), available against 2.2.1 and 2.0.36 with which "Werner G. Krebs"
<werner.krebs@yale.edu> is using for checkpoint and process migration
support in the development version of GNU/QUEUE(2). This feature is of
interest to my employer and we're wondering if it, or something like it,
will wind up supported in the kernel proper. (4)

Thanks!
