hi,

with my self-migration patch, I already have this functionality. In
the domain, I open a block device with O_DIRECT, and then a user-space
process take care of the live checkpointing to disk. A small
bootloader is prepended to the checkpoint, so that is can revive
itself.

You can see the source of such a user-space process here:
