C/R and live migration is a complicated matter for LXC containers.
There's a lot to do on both user and kernel code... On the kernel side,
there are some core functions that need to be modified and it's
extremely difficult to have the patches accepted by the kernel
maintainers.

No status for the moment... I guess people who really want migration
should participate, at least to show kernel maintainers there's a demand
for it.
