Wow, that's great!

Since you went to the trouble of doing this, can we assume you have a pretty
strong interest in this set? :)  If so,

Matt and Dan, if there is outside interest, are you able to help out at
all?  Are you still using this set at all?

Oren, what's your status?

There is a new upstream effort based around pushing smaller debugging-style
patches, which rather than adding a 'sys_checkpoint' syscall, allow userspace
to get the information they need to reconstruct a process set.  Several people,
Daniel (Cc:d) included, seem to prefer this approach.  See
http://lwn.net/Articles/452184/ for instance.

You might peruse the recent lkml threads (and the above article).  If you are
ok with that approach, you might consider joining them.  AFAICS they've not
done much in the last few months, though I may just have missed it.
