calling chroot requires superuser priv. I imagine, without a whole lot of basis, that the extended priv systems (SELinux, etc) can abstract choot rights to a more restricted credential.
SELilnux strikes me as a magic trick -- by redefining the security policy, user ID zero no longer means superuser. Something else means superuser instead.
for finding out if a kernel will work with your hardware, there really is no substitute for trying it on a second machine with the same hardware.
