is there any possibility to run batman-adv in a openvz VE?
I have never used openvz, but adjusted some protocols to deal with openvz aware kernels (which means that they used and checked their namespace - so nothing really fancy).
What must be done for device drivers to make them work on OpenVZ? Have you tried it and where have found you problems?
Must it run as kernel module or is there any way to run it in userspace?
There was a proof-of-concept version of batman-adv running in userland. This work was abandoned in favor of the in kernel implementation (better integration/better latency/less overhead/.... - stuff which is even worse on embedded systems - see Linus comments on the tinc vpn throughput on DIR300).
