There also exists this http://wiki.openvz.org/Checkpointing_and_live_migration, a working implementation, although it is for an container. One just wonders, isn't it worth to look at this as well?

Checkpoint/restart: it's complicated

OpenVZ is a nice working implementation. Unfortunately, it is for specific (older) kernels only. It is an out-of-tree implementation and seems to intend to remain as such.

Linux-CR builds on the experience garnered through the previous out-of-mainstream projects such as OpenVZ and Zap. In developing it we aim to improve the design and extend the range of of supported features. Not less important, Linux-CR aims for inclusion in mainline.

(OpenVZ developer contributed to our effort in the past and we hope for more :)

why not take openvz cr, get it into mergable state and then morph/improve it in mainline like perf, o1 scheduler, cfs scheduler.... hmm, maybe it's because ingo molnar isn't developing this patch? ;)
