One of the things we are working on is to provide exactly something like this. Not just that, within the isolated partitions, we want to be able to provide completely different environment. For example, we need to be able to run or more realtime processes of an application in one partition while the other partition runs the database portion of the application. For this to succeed, they need to be completely isolated. It would be nice if someone explains a potential CKRM implementation for this kind of complete isolation.
