Yes, it is. Linux containers (the concept, not just this particular
set of tools) use the host kernel and isolate applications using
namespaces. This also means that if the host kernel is not able to run
the application, it won't work. arm kernels cannot run x86, so plain
lxc won't work (qemu might, but whether that's a good idea on arm...)
