@Stalkr, wow, nice work!  I think I've tried OpenVZ7 kernel some time ago
but didn't have any luck.

Compiling yourself is a hassle althrough unless you make an automatic
repository which will be updated after the new release is pushed.

Is it really worth maintaining yourself the kernel and userland tools to
get OpenVZ working?

Isn't LXC still not production ready?
