I've not tried it yet (it's on my todo list) but you might have a look
at Qubes OS.  May not be exactly what you're looking for but it's the
closest that I can think of (aside from VirtualBox et al).  If it's
possible to run docker (perhaps via subuser)* under Qubes, you might
be able to have your cake and eat it too.
