Hi,

I would be making changes on restart, because I insert routes.  As has
been pointed out, Eric's setns() patches allow this sort of violation
from userspace even :)

Following that example, I could have the checkpointing task stash the
current nsproxy and temporarily jump to the destination netns to do
the checkpoint.  I'll cook up something to look at...

Thanks Dave!
