linc01n's comment was a little unclear. SmartOS isn't doing anything with the LXC protect. What SmartOS has done is revived the branded zones code from Sun for emulating Linux system calls. This means that you can run Docker containers on SmartOS as zones, as well as use dtrace, mdb and ptools on your Linux binaries.
