Hi, developers,

I come from the academia, I am really interested in the concept of OS level 
virtualization.

I read a published paper, i.e., "Formal Requirements for virtualizable Third 
Generation Architectures"  by Popek and Goldberg in 1974, which is a 
fundamental piece of work in the virtualization area.
 
In short, this paper concluded a theorem: a virtual machine monitor may be 
constructed if the set of sensitive instructions for that computer is a subset 
of the set of privileged instructions.

I am thinking whether the OpenVZ kernel is virtualizable, at least comforming 
to one of the three properties of VMM, i.e., control of resource. 

Currently I don't know how OpenVZ is implemented, which I am working on, I need 
the help to answer if OpenVZ is theoretically and practically able to control 
the resources allocated to a VE, and HOW sensitive instructions are 
intercepted? Anyone???
