supposed to be okay, if it gives you issues, it
can be considered a bug and should be reported

nope, and IMHO it doesn't make sense either, the
different virtualization technologies (IVT and AMD-V)
aid in virtualizing hardware to allow Virtual Machines
to get more performant (i.e. at some point to reach
native performance), while Linux-VServer is already
there, i.e. it provides "native" or even better
performance, but no hardware virtualization at all
but it is limited to a single kernel, running a bunch
(10-500) of isolated guest distros side bz side ...
