I've been working with FreeBSD Jails for quite a while now and this looks like a clone for Linux.

For those who don't know, a FreeBSD Jail is a virtualization on the OS level (rather than Hardware level as provided by VirtualBox et al). It's similar in concept to creating a chroot, but you're also locking down processes.

LXC is the Jails equivalent.

Jailhouse appears to be almost like an exokernel.
