Checkpoint/restore/migration is something we'd have to delegate to
the CRIU code (http://criu.org/LXC). I'm not sure how easy that is
todo though, since CRIU code is not a nicely reusable library, it is
a set of command line tools. This will need some investigation. I
don't believe anyone is actively working on it.

I think you migth have looked at an old libvirt release. I added
support for hotplug of disks (raw file or block dev), netwok
devices & host devices (usb, block & character devices) in the
last few months

You seem to have sent HTML to this list, which does not render at all
nicely

Can you resend this list in a format that is more readable in plain text
only.
