Title:
  init: transfer state across re-exec

Status in Upstart:
  In Progress
Status in upstart  0.3 series:
  Won't Fix
Status in PLD Linux Distribution:
  New

Bug description:
  Upstart needs to be able to transfer its state across a re-exec.  This
  can then be used for safely restarting (e.g. after a libc or upstart
  upgrade), and for changing of root device (e.g. initramfs to full
  system)

  This should not use SIGTERM as that doesn't guarantee it's Upstart
  you're instructing to restart
