I'm curious if QEMU will ever support features like x86(_64) hardware paths that with Arm and RISC-V... Since most of the patents are now expired, it makes a lot of sense. Apple seems to be further along here than other competitors, but it seems to be limited to Rosetta, not broadly supported.

If the kernel makes it available to userspace, then it could be done. I am not aware of any specific emulation-friendly extensions to RISC-V though.

Me either, but I'm assuming they'll start to become more common. Possibly the inverse as well, ARM cores on x86 even.
