Once cgroup xattrs go in, would serializing state into xattrs in the cgroup 
tree on-the-fly be an option? Eliminating the need to reactively serialize 
on reexec by proactively serializing in a continuous manner might resolve 
the loss-of-state issue.

There would still need to be a way to reexec PID 1 on crash, but at least 
state would be saved.
