Do we have any support for process checkpoint and migration on FreeBSD? I
have found some code from 2010 at code.google.com/p/processmigration which
works by forcing a core dump. I wonder how difficult it would be to extend
it to do incremental checkpointing (to reduxe the time in which the process
must be stopped during a migration).

Cheers
Luigi
