Hello. I can see that, with exception for seabios and cpuid, along with the chipset emulation, there is no x86 architecture bound code in this project. As it stands, both KVM and Hyper-V have aarch64 support which is transparent for the applications. Therefore, almost all of this code should work fine on top of the aarch64 KVM. Are there any plans of implementing the aarch64 support? It would be nice to have an alternative for Qemu.

@CryptoManiac Hi! What is the intended use case for your question? Are you looking to run Mvisor on an ARM Linux server or do you plan to use it on a MacBook?

Greetings. I don't think that there is any significant benefit in supporting the Apple's virtualization framework. That would seem like doing a lot of job to reinvent the wheel. For those who need a virtualization on Apple hardware the existing proprietary and open source solutions should do. It is also possible to use Asahi Linux on the relevant hardware. So it's actually a matter of supporting aarch64 Linux and only that. This would allow to use lightweight virtualization on a variety of hardware, ranging from single board computers like Raspberry Pi to the monstrous 128-core systems.
