This isn't quite solaris zones. This is the groundwork to allow for things like zones. The OpenVZ guys have been very slowly trying to get their code in the upstream kernel. As a result, they rework or generify their code so it works for everything.
It might be another kernel or two before you see full "Solaris Zone" functionality in the Linux kernel. This is a very solid start.
