is there any possibility to run batman-adv in a openvz VE? Must it run as kernel module or is there any way to run it in userspace?

There was a userspace implementation but we abandoned this approach simply because it is too slow. Copying packets from userspace to kernelland and back is a real performance killer.

However, we are working towards supporting multiple mesh networks running on the same host which could solve your problem (I don't know openvz well enough to be 100% sure) but don't expect this feature very soon. It is work in progress. :-)
