Comapring openvz vs. xen, hitting the privvmpages limit is a serious disadvantage of openvz. Even with a generous plan at many providers, you still risk hitting the limit.
Is there any kernel work planned or in progress to integrate container memeory with swap, so that virtual memory allocation works more like a standard kernel with swap?
?

i guess this situation can be easily workarounded by increasing privvmpages limits, right?

No, not when you're paying for a plan at a provider. If your answer is to pay more for a higher plan, then I'll switch to a xen provider and get more value for the same money.
If you don't want to improve openvz, users will seek alternatives.
