No, this won't be possible by concept!!

OpenVZ is an OS-level virtualization. That means that there is exactly one kernel and set of modules which are shared amongst all VEs. This is NOT like Xen!

Using a PCI device inside a VE depends on the device driver. You can load the driver only on HN!

Usually you will get a device node to access your device. In this case you can make the devicenode be accessible from a VE.
