On this note, 9front does have an arm64 qemu kernel which is designed specifically to be
able to make use of the Hypervisor.framework available on modern macs and Linux KVM.
The relevant pieces of the FQA are: https://fqa.9front.org/fqa3.html#3.3.1.1.1
This section also includes what is required for running this with the mac hardware
acceleration, the only thing I might add is that when using that you'll want to use
'-cpu host' instead of what's there. I imagine the performance (and power draw) would
be much better compared to emulating arm64 or amd64 in userspace.


Thanks,
Moody
