Well, it's called userspace, but it does require a significant kernel
support.

I guess, that someone from the CRIU team might be a better person to tell
whether it's the case. It doesn't take a lot of
effort to ask whether they have tasks that might become a student project,
especially considering that the team doing
CRIU did in the past at least collaborate with univeristies in Russia where
students actually worked on CRIU.
