Suka sent a patchset on top of an older lxc to actually implement
some of the checkpoint/restart.  You can find it at
https://launchpad.net/~appcr/+archive/ppa/+packages if you download
the lxc package.  However, I haven't really used that.  I'm still
having trouble with the basic kernel functionality, so dealing with
the additional complication of container mounts is not something I
want to do right now.  So I'm creating custom lightweight 'jobs' or
'containers' using the 'crdemo' package in that same ppa.  But again,
I've not yet had time to figure out why the kernel is treating me
wrong.
