	I'm still waiting to hear back from Pavel or Alexey but, AFAICT, no, it
is not.

	Corresponding in private with Kir, he seemed surprised at my earlier
post asking if ovz004 fixed the netfilter problem and he asked me for
bugzilla numbers.  Then he asked Pavel or Alexey to comment.  Haven't
heard back further at this point.

	They may yet fix it before ovz004 is out (Kir indicated sometime this
week) but I tried building from the git tree 2.6.22 branch ovz004 tag
just a couple days ago and two of the conntrack modules still had
unresolved externals and bombed the build.  I just checked git and
nothing has been committed to that branch in the last 9 days.
