Good luck debugging that.

Shouldn't need luck. It wouldn't use qemu or vmware but a specialized VM manager that will interface with it via network/virtual-hardware and expose a virtual file system to it (e.g.: it will call "read()" but instead of glibc wrapping a syscall, a compiled in wrapper would ask the hypervisor to "read()", except it would just memcpy() around a file opened at virtual boot instead of asking the kernel to read a file and then send the data back while avoiding context switch and just send request, wait for interrupt).

File system, networking and security need to abstracted in a way that is ideal for performance and introspection, specifically for a unikernel built to interface with the abstraction.
