Hi Munees,

My understanding is that you cannot run unmodified guest operating systems as 
inmates under jailhouse. In my brief look at jailhouse I did not find any 
documentation of the platform that jailhouse presents to the inmates and the 
corresponding binary interface beyond "install this kernel module into your 
guest first". As such I cannot tell you what modifications would be required to 
seL4 to run as an inmate.

Am somewhat obliged to point out that if you run seL4 under a system such as 
Jailhouse (or any virtualization system) then you are losing all of the 
benefits of seL4, whilst retaining the negatives. Unless this is transition 
stage of the project I would strongly encourage a design where seL4 is running 
at the highest privilege level.
