OS level virt can easily do the first two. The third is harder due to a common kernel. But FreeBSD for instance can run CentOS 6 with the Linuxulator. I believe Solaris has similar feature called "branded zones".

Branded zones do not run Linux any more and emulation was never complete. Nor is the FreeBSD emulation complete.
