[RFC][PATCH 2/4] checkpoint/restart: x86 support

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Thu Aug 07 2008 - 18:41:33 EST



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.
