Thanks! There is still definitely work that needs to be put into this.

One thing I've been working on is to allow registering plugins
as object files statically linked against the criu binary  [0].

If you have any feedback about the approach it would be greatly appreciated.

The idea is to try to surface 100% of the features exposed by CRIU
to provide an experience that is close as possible.
