[RFC v2][PATCH 3/9] checkpoint/restart: x86 support

Dave Hansen dave at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Wed Aug 20 12:26:00 PDT 2008


The original version of Oren's patch contained a good hunk
of #ifdefs.  I've extracted all of those and created a bit
of an API for new architectures to follow.

Leaving Oren's sign-off because this is all still his code,
even though he hasn't seen it mangled like this before.

Signed-off-by: Oren Laadan <orenl at cs.columbia.edu>
