Long-running operations in the kernel should:
o not monopolize the CPU
o abort when asked
Put voluntary preemption points in ckpt_kread, ckpt_kwrite, and the
VMA-walking checkpoint code. At the same points, return an error if a
fatal signal is pending; callers of these functions are supposed to be
checking return values.

We do alot more than read/write the image -- e.g. collecting references at
the beginning prior to checkpoint. Perhaps should add some to the objhash
code too.
