I guess it was only a matter of time before people started trying to get their VM's closer to the meta. I look forward to watching their progress. Really very cool.
You're missing the point. OSv and other unikernels are there to run on existing clouds, such as Amazon which (new things like ECS aside) is all Xen VMs. That's the environment that exists, and these sorts of tools are about squeezing an few extra drops of performance out of some Java app that's already running there.
