I read that they are just running Linux binaries on Solaris kernel
(through some kernel personality that IIRC works normally too, without
zones). Since zones is a in-kernel feature, it sounds logical that they
can not run any other kernel _instead_ of Solaris in zones.
So it's a Linux userspace and Solaris kernel (mimicing Linux kernel
interfaces).
