Please ask the stable release managers, if they would accept such a
patch. I don't think we really support such inofficial kernels or mixing
squeeze kernels with wheezy userland.

So I'm inclined to reject this bug report, especially since the Debian
kernel maintainers decided to drop OpenVZ support for the Debian kernel.
