I'm not really sure how this would look then. If I understand you
correctly you propose to exec dummy 32bit during "forking" stage
where we're recreating a process tree, before anything else. If
true this implies that we will need two criu engines: one compiled
with 64 bit and (same) second but compiled with 32 bits, no?
