It shouldn't be hard, actually I'm thinking of implementing it myself.

Race conditions would be a problem, but:
1) Checkpoint/restart is inherently racy. Network packets might got lost, connections can time out during migration, etc.
2) It can be mitigated somewhat by providing kernel-level support for freezing.
