Description
**Describe the issue**
Rosetta exposed to Linux guests are not given SELinux contexts, and it is impossible to manually apply any because the virtiofs directory is functionally read-only (can be mounted rw but errors out with `Operation not permitted` when manually running `chcon`).
This affects me when running a SELinux-enforcing distro and attempting to run a container with `--arch=amd64`.
To reproduce:
- Start a VM with a SELinux-enforcing distro (I used RHEL but Fedora should work as well) using Virtualization, with Rosetta enabled
- Configure Rosetta as [documented](https://docs.getutm.app/advanced/rosetta/)
- Fedora and derivatives may need to do the `update-binfmts` step manually with `echo ':rosetta:M::\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x3e\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xfe\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff:/media/rosetta/rosetta:PCF' | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register`
- Install Podman
- Start a container with the amd64 arch and run some command in it
- `podman run --arch=amd64 quay.io/centos/centos:stream10 uname -m` for example
Expected result:
```
x86_64
```
Actual result: no output, exit code 139, `journalctl -b -et setroubleshoot` reports a violation
