With this week's new Debian lenny kernel source package, I had no problem
making an OpenVZ kernel with my previous config, but without
CONFIG_BEANCOUNTERS I got an error:

So, I commented out those lines (270,275,287) but then I get more
errors, in pid_namespace.c. Commented out those too. Hit some more BC
junk in fs/dcache.c.

Looks like the Debian OpenVZ patches put in some beancounter stuff
outside of CONFIG_BEANCOUNTERS! I will look at this again later this
week and see if I can figure out how to exclude just those patches.

I'll let you know how it goes ... thanks for your attention! :)
