See http://wiki.openvz.org/Porting_the_kernel
Also, you can look up http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.18-openvz for
patches with PPC prefix in commit subject -- those enable OpenVZ for
powerpc arch. Same for sparc -- check for commits from OpenVZ team
members with [SPARC] prefix. There are less than ten patches for each arch.
