OpenVZ project has released an updated RHEL6 based
testing kernel. Read below for more information.

NOTE that this is a *testing* kernel, not recommended for production.


Changes
=======
Since 042stab072.3:
* [fs/eventpoll] added debug patch to catch a use-after-free on 
eventpoll destroy (debug for PCLIN-31438)
* [sysfs] provide permissions for mem devices inside a CT (needed by 
Fedora 18) (PSBM-17522)
* [cpt] fixed kernel panic on migration of a CT with a process which 
holds an already removed file opened (PSBM-17449)
* [mm] small amount of anon memory (even relaively old) should not 
swapout under page cache pressure (PSBM-17543)
* [dcache] do not report possible progress in case CT's dcache has 
unused entries but less than threshold, thus CT's dcache should not be 
reclaimed and OOM should be invoked (PCLIN-31453)
* [dcache] dcache thresholds should be calculated using size of normal 
zone, not total ram size. Affects 32-bit nodes only. (PCLIN-31452)
* [cpt] fixed online migration of a CT with a process having a 
hardlinked file opened (PCLIN-31468)
