It certainly doesn't sound like a particularly good idea to me. This would add great complexity to the kernel while having very few users. Perhaps there's something I haven't considered but I can't think of any good applications for this sort of functionality. Do you have something in particular in mind?
It seems like what you want here is simple virtualization. Have you considered KVM? The closest thing to your request currently upstream is containers, although I'm unsure of whether a container can be created with an independent clock. Might be something to look into.
Cheers,
