Andrey validly pointed out, that restoring pdeath_sig is not
compatible with criu_restore_child() call -- after criu restore
children, it will exit and fire the pdeath_sig into restored
tree root, potentially killing it.
The fix for that could be -- when started in swrk more, criu can
restore tree not as children tasks, but as siblings, using the
CLONE_PARENT flag when fork()-ing the root task.
With this we should also take care about errors handing -- right
now criu catches the SIGCHILD from dying children tasks, and
since we plan to create them be children of the criu parent (the
library caller) we will not be able to catch them. To do so we
SEIZE the root task in advance thus causing all SIGCHLD-s go to
criu, not to its parent.
Having this done we no longer need the SUBREAPER trick in the
library call -- tasks get restored right as callers kids :)
Some thoughts for future -- using this trick we can finally make
"natural" restoration of shell jobs. I.e. -- make criu restore
some subtree right under bash, w/o leaving itself as intermediate
task and w/o re-parenting the subtree to init after restore.

On dump one uses one or more --ext-mount-map option with A:B arguments.
A denotes a mountpoint (as seen from the target mount namespace) criu
dumps and B is the string that will be written into the image file
instead of the mountpoint's root.
On restore one uses the same --ext-mount-map option(s) with similar
A:B arguments, but this time criu treats A as string from the image's
root field (foobar in the example above) and B as the path in criu's
mount namespace the should be bind mounted into the mountpoint.
v3:
* Added documentation
* Added RPC bits
* Changed option name into --ext-mount-map
* Use colon as key and value separator

The --exec-cmd option specifies a command that will be execvp()-ed on successful
restore. This way the command specified here will become the parent process of
the restored process tree.
Waiting for the restored processes to finish is responsibility of this command.
All service FDs are closed before we call execvp(). Standad output and error of
the command are redirected to the log file when we are restoring through the RPC
service.
This option will be used when restoring LinuX Containers and it seems helpful
for perf or other use cases when restored processes must be supervised by a
parent.
Two directions were researched in order to integrate CRIU and LXC:
1. We tell to CRIU, that after restoring container is should execve()
lxc properly explaining to it that there's a new container hanging
around.
2. We make LXC set himself as child subreaper, then fork() criu and ask
it to detach (-d) from restore container afterwards. Being a subreaper,
it should get the container's init into his child list after it.
The main reason for choosing the first option is that the second one can't work
with the RPC service. If we call restore via the service then criu service will
be the top-most task in the hierarchy and will not be able to reparent the
restore trees to any other task in the system. Calling execve from service
worker sub-task (and daemonizing it) should solve this.

When migrating container with copying its FS, the inode numbers
and thus their handles wil change. This will make the restore of
inotify/fanotify fail, since they do it via fhandles.
We've already faced the problems with fsnotifies on NFS -- they
don't work there. To address this an irmap cache is created on
pre-dump, so to resolve the issue with changed inodes during
migration, we can force the irmap cache build.

This option will serve to manage CPU capabilities
to be matched/ignored on restore procedure. At the
moment we introduce 'fpu','all' capability arguments.
By default 'all' is set.

Service shouldn't call client provided scripts, as it
creates a security issue (client may be unpriviledged,
while the service is).
In order to let caller do what it would normally do with
criu-scripts, make criu notify it about scripts. Caller
then do whatever it needs and responds back.

The -F|--fields option specifies which fields (by name, comma
separated) should be printed.
For nested fields all names in path should be specified.

Libraries (plugins) is going to be used for dumping and restoring
external dependencies (e.g. dbus, systemd journal sockets, charecter
devices, etc)
A plugin can have the cr_plugin_init() and cr_plugin_fini functions for
initialization and deinialization.
criu-plugin.h contains all things, which can be used in plugins.
v2: rename lib to plugin
v3: add a default value for a plugin path.
