The problem is that currently vserver has NO syscalls
allocated to it and that Linus would be reluctant to
hand out half a dozen syscalls for a special application
like vserver ...
Also, in order to get vserver merged in the upstream
kernel or in distros, it will need to get an official
syscall number.
