026test009 kernel includes mainstream patches up to 2.6.16.8. What is 
inside our kernels you can check on git (http://git.openvz.org). On Git 
we already have more recent 026test011 kernel which will be released soon.

If you care for security, I must note that 026test009 has lack for these 
2 patches only:
[PATCH] smbfs chroot issue (CVE-2006-1864)
[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes 
(CVE-2006-1056)

The first one is relevant only if you do chroot on smbfs, which is 
unlikely :) The second one is minor and is a small information leak (1 
bit from FPU AFAIR).

So you need to apply a patch 2.6.16.8 -> 2.6.16.14 if you want.
