Overlayfs offers libeatmydata functionality in recent linux kernels without having to intercept libc, so it should work for things that use raw syscalls too.

Go is one of the programming languages that makes syscalls directly, thus libeatmydata has no effect on it (being an LD_PRELOAD to the libc).
