That would be absolutely great and amazing. And I think this is really possible, but will take a great effort to build a recent Linux kernel with better container support - a 4.x would be fantastic.
And then running Android within a container. I've seen some research on this topic, and one guy had already run Android within a LXC container almost two years ago.
This being said, it strongly depends on the kernel support and if we're able to get all the Nvidia specific drivers supported within Docker containers. As soon as Nvidia is helping in this effort, we are on a good track. This will take some time, but I honestly believe it comes true!
I think, Nvidia is well organised and you'll get a ton of developer informations for the Tegra DevKits on their website and forums. The community is pretty active and helpful as well.
They provide a lot of drivers for CUDA and the DevKit boards, namely the Jetson TK1 and Jetson TX1. And some of the users also reported that the Shield TV has a lot in common with the TX1 boards.
