These patchset introduces OpenVZ kernel based restart procedure on top of
Oren's checkpoint/restart patchset v9.

For restarting a set of processes one will need to call sys_restart() once with
new flag CR_CTX_RSTR_IN_KERNEL. All work will be done in kernel in this case.

Small changes to image format are required to make in-kernel process creation
more easy.

Oren, please take a look on this patchset. I've tried to port OpenVZ
functionality on top of yours with minimal changes.
