procedure to the module that does something similar to
'virtualized-operating-system' in (gnu system vm), as discussed in the

Updated patch attached. WDYT?

Augment the docstring with something like:

  When CONTAINER? is true, skip all hardware-related operations as
  necessary when booting a Linux container.

> +(define (system-container os)

docstring

> +(define* (container-script os #:key (mappings '()))

docstring

OK with these changes!
