OK, am I understanding it's something like:

	int tmp_fd = epoll_create1(...);
	if (tmp_fd != orig_epfd) {
		dup2(tmp_fd, orig_epfd);
		close(tmp_fd);
	}

	for (/* loop over original FDs: */) {
		tmp_fd = socket(...);
		if (tmpfd != orig_sfd) {
			dup2(tmp_fd, orig_sfd);
			close(tmp_fd);
		}
		epoll_ctl(orig_epfd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, orig_sfd, ...);
	}

Is that close to what CRIU is doing?
In no place does tmp_fd end up in the epoll rbtree, there.
Everything is keyed w/ orig_sfd and it's underlying file.
