As far as I can tell, there is no shared hardware. The point is that it dedicates certain hardware to the guests, and they have full access to it.

This is not supposed to fit into the same space as Xen or KVM; it's supposed to give the guest pretty much bare-metal control over the resources that you give it, with minimal interference from the host, so it can be used for real-time applications even if the host kernel is not real-time.

Ok, makes sense. But then "jail" is a bad name for it, I'm sure inmates have to use a lot of shared hardware in the real life. In fact "partition" conveys the right meaning.
