gvisor doesn't require nested virtualization, right? If you're willing to take a tenable user-mode-Linux performance hit, you should be able to run it on anything?

My understanding is that gvisor supports two modes of execution - one with virtualization and one without. AFAIK the official recommendation is to use the one with virtualization, but I've never dug into it.
Yeah, the original mode uses ptrace to intercept system calls, and then just implements the system call itself.
