Hi Andrew,

Here is the next version of the checkpoint/restart patchset.  This
version moves portions of checkpoint code closer to where they belong.

As a convenience we've collected a rough table of contents showing
places to start for some reviewers with limited time and/or scope
(see below).

Thanks to Jamie, Nick, Andreas, and all who helped review the last few
versions, and thanks in advance for comments on this version.

We'll be very grateful if this can get a spin in -mm to get some wider
testing in the meantime.

Thanks,

The Checkpoint/Restart developers.

With a huge patch series like this, can you post a cover note at the front
(usually patch 0) saying what the point of the whole series is?

Hi David,

I suppose you are looking for more details than those found in the
current patch-0 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/1/140).

We omitted them for brevity sake; here is a link to patch-0 of a 
previous post of the patchset: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/423

Thanks,

Oren.
