feat: support running Quickemu on arm64 host

[brad]

Expected behaviour

Any chance we can virtualize MacOS in Asahi Linux? I know for a fact this CPU can run MacOS 😉

Actual behaviour

Error about unsupported CPU

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

quickget macos catalina
quickemu --vm macos-catalina.conf

Quickemu output

Quickemu 4.8 using /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 v7.2.6
 - Host:     "Fedora Asahi Remix release 38 (Thirty Eight)" running Linux 6.5 (MacBook-Pro.lan)

Running Asahi Linux on anything other than Apple Silicon hardware is pointless. This is out of scope for the project.

You misunderstand. I am running Asahi Linux on a Mac, and I want to use quickemu to run MacOS

Curious about this! I'm running Asahi Linux (Fedora Redmix Edition) on my Macbook Pro (2023) 14" model. Since this is running on Apple Silicon hardware, would it be possible to run MacOS Sonoma via QEMU on it!? Requesting to reopen this issue. :)

Thanks for clarifying. I've re-opened the issue and changed the title 👍

I don't have suitable hardware to work on this feature, so pull requests welcome 😃
