* A hindrance to getting docker up and running in CRIU/ppc is that the images it downloads at build/startup are x86_64 images. Help requested.

* CRIU part of live migration: perform nodes compat checks, pre-dumps in a loop, copy fs if not shared, don't forget container config

* More information about P.Haul: written in Python, source code https://github.com/xemul/p.haul/, can migrate OpenVZ container (How-to https://github.com/xemul/p.haul/blob/master/test/mtouch/HOWTO), call rsync on chroot-ed container

* P.Haul future: Docker/LXC support, smarter interations, shared FS autodetection, post-copy live migration, send images over the wire (CRIU)
