I've been using Linux vserver patch since times immemorial.

Hopefully not a dumb question, but why not use QEMU?

Also... can someone weigh in on why the likes of Linux VServer and OpenVZ became dormant??

Before KVM appeared, VServer performance was way better than QEMU.

After KVM appeared, it was a little better, so people who were already using it continued to do so.
