Q: What about namespaces ?
A: Currrently, UTS and IPC namespaces are restored. They demonstrate
how namespaces are handled. More to come.
Will this new code muck up the kernel?

For network namespaces i think it's clearer that a wrapper
program should set up the network for the restarted init task,
while the usrspace code should recreate any private network
namespaces and veth's which were created by the application.
But it still needs discussion.
Ok for the restart, but for the checkpoint, how do you access the network setup from a process which belongs to another namespace context ?
