It depends on what you want to dump.  Dumping arbitrary task has
issues even at the most basic level due to relationships among family
of processes, which I assume is why the in-kernel CR was primarily
focused on dumping and restoring full namespaces.  If you're doing
that, there is no avoiding walking process tree anyway (which
apparently can even be per-NS using uprocfs).

Thanks.
