not yet, but mainline is going into that direction
so as soon as Linux will be able to do such things,
it will also be part of Linux-VServer

a work around is to put the Linux-VServer kernel in
a Xen domU and migrate the entire domain over to
a backup machine which usually covers all the down
for maintainance cases ...

stop/start should take less than 5 seconds if the
guests are configured properly, so I guess the
downtime is acceptable ...
