Solaris containers are descendants from FreeBSD jails: they provide
different userland namespaces(*) on top of a shared OS kernel.
Hardware virtualization on the other hand provides different hardware
namespaces(*) on top of a shared hypervisor.
These are basically sandboxing methods with different levels of
isolation and performance. I would not expect that jails/containers
introduce new challenges with respect to missing interrupts.
