What's Arch got to do with OpenVZ RHEL based kernel?

Red Hat backports different functionality into RHEL kernel and the thing
you're using is far far from plain vanilla 2.6.32 or any other distro's
2.6.32.

Anyway, RHEL 6 does have trim support, simply refer to the relevant docs:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/newmds-ssdtuning.html

There's also a myriad of how-to's on the net about RHEL and SSDs... There
are also Proxmox threads about SSDs and Debian converted OpenVZ RHEL
kernels, if that's what you're using.

Regards
