Make sure you don't reinvent the wheel...
For example, take a look at:
http://warp.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/warp/systems/checkpoint/
Also, checkout CoCheck project and Condor at:
http://wwwbode.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/Par/tools/Projects/CoCheck.html
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/
I believe some of these already work on Linux, or would require probably
some small effort of porting.
BTW, checkpointing of a single process (unlike a bunch of collaborating
processes) can be evidently done (see above) entirely in user-space.
Good luck !
Oren.
