Yes, there is some materials here:

https://ckpt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page

,There is a wiki describing the process to build/test LXC
with checkpoint/restart.

	https://ckpt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Link-LXC-USERCR

The USERCR and LXC patches that are needed are in:

        http://lxc.sourceforge.net/patches/lxc+usercr/usercr-patches/
        http://lxc.sourceforge.net/patches/lxc+usercr/lxc-patches/

Experimental ...

I don't know but that can be interesting to look if that is compatible.
