Well, there is no document atm and I tried to explain how it is supposed
to work in the patches that restart file-locks (patches 4. 9, 16).

But I see that your question is about the bigger picture. Given that
this question was asked on the previous version of the patchset, I will
add a FAQ/description in patch 0 next time.

For now, please see:

Would probably be a good idea to put something on the wiki
and/or inside Documentation/checkpoint/...
