FYI, I attach the kernel patchset (based on the 3.0.0-lxc1 version on
the website) for the linux version 3.2.9. Mainly I removed the patches
already applied upstream and minor twicks to comply with some changes
on the kernel. I guess they may need still some work to make it
upstream but they work well in our setup. I'm not that confortable
with the kernel source though to take the bullet...

cheers,
Xavi
