Description
**What are you trying to do?**
Since MacOS 15 Apple silicon M3 support nested virtualization and more enhancements.
**What's your proposed solution?**
Replace QEMU by Apple VZ or add a new driver using VZ.
**Additional context**
As mac developer I can do it but I never successful build on Mac, maybe missing some tips.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First establish a successful macOS build, then locate the existing QEMU integration and define how an Apple VZ driver would replace or complement it. Done means Multipass can use Apple VZ on supported macOS Apple silicon systems, with the relevant behavior verified.
