This idea isn't new at all. In fact, it's largely a conceptual throwback to the days before even batch schedulers where programs had to initialize the machine they were running on. The modern libOS dates from MIT research in exokernels during the 90s, itself an incremental step further of the numerous microkernel projects like SPIN, V-System, Mach, Amoeba and so forth. It's a 1950s idea updated to 21st century standards using 1970s dynamic linking, sometimes but not necessarily meant to be run under a hypervisor.
