Description
Trying to run QEMU results in "Bad system call" and return to the iSH shell.
specifically, even this triggers it:
qemu-system-x86_64 --help
... and any attempts to run any virtual machine, of course, fail, too.
EDIT: qemu-system-aarch64 and qemu-system-i386 behave the same way, talking of an iPhone 15 running iOS 17.4.1.

Research direction
Start by reproducing `qemu-system-x86_64 --help` on the reported iPhone and collect the relevant `dmesg` output, as requested in the issue. Compare the behavior with `qemu-system-aarch64` and `qemu-system-i386`; done means identifying the iOS syscall incompatibility and documenting or resolving it for the affected QEMU entry points.
