Thanks, this is what I'm using ATM. But my hosting provider wants a compiled
kernel with a number of features (no module support, and so on). They
provide a .config with their configuration. This is not mandatory, but if I
don't use their custom kernel and one of my servers gets hacked, they shoot
first and talk later ;-)

So, what I need to do is to take a vanilla kernel, apply OpenVZ patch, apply
their config, enable VZ-related functionalities... But, patches I find on
http://download.openvz.org/kernel/ are marked as 'development versions'.
That scares me a bit, because it is for a production environment.
