As per my experience porting to powerpc platform, OpenVZ is easily 
portable, i.e. it is 95% platform-independent code (not counting the 
checkpointing functionality, which IS very platform-specific).

So, if somebody needs OpenVZ for some currently unsupported platform 
(say, ARM), they can either do a port themselves, or provide us with a 
couple of boxes and we will do the port.
