> This is possible because Intel is more "open" and readily shares their hardware literature / SDKs with developers and that is why we have had many custom, decent and performant hypervisor solution on Intel Macs. But Apple has been loathe to release similar literature for their ARM SoCs because they don't want independent competitive alternatives to their system softwares. Are you looking for https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100942/0100/AArch64-virtualization https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100942/0100/AArch64-... ? Access to virtualization features is provided through the hypervisor framework for both intel and apple silicon products. If you have an existing Intel architecture product you might be upset that Apple is going to disable your ability to use virtualization directly via a kext. But, I have a hard time imagining someone really wanting to use their own hand crafted hypervisor rather than the one Apple built on Apple Silicon for running on Apple operating systems - especially since Apple has committed to providing additional hard things like paravirtualized hardware.
