Description
Under both the Apple virtualization framework and qemu virtualization there are a handful of Apple M4 (and maybe M3?) features that are missing in the guest VM. It would be nice if these features can get added.
I noticed these missing features while running a Linux guest, I assume they would also be missing with a MacOS guest.
The specific missing features:
- FEAT_I8MM
- FEAT_WFxT
- FEAT_RPRES
- FEAT_BTI
- FEAT_ECV
