Sounds really interesting.

Can you provide any links or step-by-step on howto achieve this ?

Brandz installation is detailed there: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz/install/

Note that you can install it on OpenSolaris too (the doc says Solaris Express is required).

Here is the official documentation about Linux zones:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2450/gchhk?l=en

If you create the zonepath on ZFS, the zone will use it without knowledge of it.

You can use the lx-syscall dtrace provider to analyse linux kernel calls.
