Having not used Xen but being very interested in all forms of

What does one do with a kernel that does both OpenVZ and Xen? Do you
run multiple Doms and a few of them use OpenVZ? Is there a reason that
neither OpenVZ nor Xen do exactly what you want by themselves?
I use Xen + OpenVZ on a build machine.
I need to build binaries of an Open Source software package I maintain.
So I have a Xen PV OpenVZ DomU that hosts a container for each Linux
Distro and Version I need to build.
For those non-Linux OSes like Windows, FreeBSD and Solaris I use either
Fully or Para Virtual Xen DomUs to do the build.
Then when I'm doing a release I run a script on my development machine.
The script starts the various virtual environments, copies over the
source tar, builds it, copies back the binaries and stops the virtual
environment.
In about a half hour I end up with about 40 OS and Version specific
RPMs, DEBS, etc.
