> QEMU now has ‘hvf’ (hypervisor.framework) available in master as an accelerator, I think it was a summer of code project.
It was not a Summer of Code project, there was (is) a company called Veertu that did the work who sold a virtualization product for running Linux and Windows on macOS on the App Store. Because it used Hypervisor.framework, it could be sandboxed and could be on the Mac App Store.
Google forked Veertu's GitHub repo, adding a few bells and whistles for use in their Android emulator.

Finally, the work was merged upstream to QEMU.
