The processes are stuck in uninterruptible sleep, he can kill them all 
day long.

OP: AFAIK there's nothing you can do to reliably kill these processes, 
unless you manage to get them unstuck somehow. At the moment you can 
issue sysrq-w (e.g. via echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger) and collect the 
output from dmesg for debugging (though proceed with caution, all bets 
are off at this point).

Either reboot the host or start the vserver with a different xid 
(/etc/vservers/<vs_name>/context IIRC).
