+- Update to criu 2.8:
+  New features:
+  * Ability to configure CRIU build
+  * Show statistics on the screen with --display-stats
+  * C/R of Mac-Vlan devices
+  Optimizations/improvements:
+  * x86 can now be built with clang
+  * When dumping files useless garbage was sent with descriptors from
+    parasite
+  * The clear_tid_address and regs are printed in hex with CRIT
+  * Big code rework for compel (part 1)
+  * Removed duplicate error messages from opening /proc files
+  Fixes:
+  * Restoring cgroup NS could use old path prefix
+  * criu check crashed on btrfs mounts
+  * RO external mounts in userns couldn't be restored
+  * Unmounted on host binfmt_misc could cause dump to fail
+  * Off-by-one could cause criu crash when dumping shared / bind-mount
+  * Mount namespace' roots could have flags changed on restore
+  * Dying tasks could erroneously be tried to dump
+  * Swapped shared memory pages were not dumped
+  * Errno value can be sometimes spoiled by RPC
+  * Restore of netns with newer iproute2 tool could fail
+  Deprecated:
+  * --ext-unix-sk, --veth-pair and --ext-mount-map, by --external
+- Set BINFMT_MISC_VIRTUALIZED config to build
