Checkpoint/restart is going to be a long effort to get things working. We're going to have a lot of things that we know just don't work for a long time. That doesn't mean that it will be useless, it just means that there's some complicated features that we are going to have to work incrementally to fix. This patch introduces a new mechanism to help the checkpoint/restart developers. A new function pair: task/process_deny_checkpoint() is created. When called, these tell the kernel that we *know* that the process has performed some activity that will keep it from being properly checkpointed. The 'flag' is an atomic_t for now so that we can have some level of atomicity and make sure to only warn once. For now, this is a one-way trip. Once a process is no longer 'may_checkpoint' capable, neither it nor its children ever will be. This can, of course, be fixed up in the future. We might want to reset the flag when a new pid namespace is created, for instance.
