         | Hypervisor-based Linux is going to be more compatible with the
         | bleeding edge of Linux kernels, but using a system call
         | compatibility library seems more elegant, so I'm happy to see
         | this, and I'd like to see a version for macOS as well.

       | It also makes me dream of a day when BSD (including macOS) and

       | file system layout.
