Libvirt took this name at the same time the lxc tools were developed. The lxc tools are standalone userspace commands to use the containers. The LXC in libvirt is coded inside, without an external component (maybe someone, one day will create a driver for the lxc tools, who knows ...).
The checkpoint / restart (aka migration, live migration, etc ...) is not mainstream, so it is not implemented in the libvirt. There will be available a kernel patchset in a few weeks making possible to do live migration with the lxc userspace tools (not libvirt), with some restrictions. In the same time, there is another checkpoint / restart kernel patchset on the way asking for mainstream inclusion and there are some patchset for lxc to integrate this implementation. So within 2/3 months, we should have lxc with 2 checkpoint/restart solutions embedded in it.
