	Token		cont,
	StateInterval	state_interval )

state_interval - indicates the state interval of the request.

Semantics

This is a manager interface function. This function is called by the kernel to request a manager to snapshot a container. When this function returns the kernel may assume that the manager has made (at least) a volitile snapshot of the container. When the function is called, the manager may assume that all loci in the container have been frozen and that no loci will execute in the container (other than the locus which has made the call) until the function returns.
