It's an almost impossible task. Here's a few things that would need to be done.
Restore all memory of the process.
Restore registers.
Restore stack frames.
Re-open and reposition files - ensuring that if nfs connections were involved they have been
re-established.
Re-open network connections.
Re-establish any extant IPC mechanisms (ensuring that the cooperating programs have also been
restarted)
etc. etc.
It can only work if programs are explicitly designed with this capability.
