Some of OpenVZ is already implimented as modules. Just do an lsmod | grep vz on your OpenVZ host node. Speaking as a non-developer / non-programmer who is not familiar with the OpenVZ design / implementation... I believe that OpenVZ requires a lot of changes to many of the underlying subsystems... changes that you can't do via a module. The reason that KVM can get away with being a module (I believe) is that changes have been made in the mainline to accommodate KVM. The only way OpenVZ could do what it needs to do to become a standalone module like KVM is if all of the needed changes to the underlying subsystems were made to mainline... which isn't going to happen.
