SubjectInclusion of (large parts of) the vserver extension into the core?
Pardon me if this has been discussed to death already, feel free to
point me to the proper archives.

However, I'm willing to do a bit of legwork to get the vserver patches
(most, if not all) into mainstream Linux.

The project exists since october 2001, and it has matured quite a bit
since then.
Is there any reason why some or all of the changes cannot be included
into mainstream Linux?
What would be the most painless method to get part of (or all) of the
vserver patches included into the kernel proper?

For reference, the project can be found at: http://linux-vserver.org/
The most recent patches can be found at:
http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Experimental/

Summarised, the most recent patch looks like (if so desired I could post
the whole patch here):
