Re:macOS 11 Virtualization Framework to Run Linux in a VM by waon on Thursday July 23, 2020 @11:21AM (#23928274)
That's hardly the point. Many virtualization systems do indeed use QEMU for device emulation, but they don't use it to emulate the entire CPU functionality itself. A key point about virtualization is that most code run native while privileged instructions are trapped and handled by the hypervisor, allowing multiple guest OSes to coexist. This gives guest OSes the illusion that it's in sole control of the hardware.
