Merging openvz and the recent pax patch?

Hi,
I'm going to try to merge these patches together is there anything I should know about before trying this? I planned on doing it once most of the os virtualization was merged into mainline as it was in 2.6.26 now does pax touch anything that would be extremely hard to fix with the openvz kernel?

afaik, openvz is a single kernel/container based approach to virtualization, so i think there's nothing conceptually that would clash with PaX per se. if you run into problems or have questions about the PaX bits, feel free to ask (irc/email would be faster than the forum though).

Openvz removes a few things in arch/*/mm which complicates things I'll keep on working on it.. Can't hurt to learn.
