    Yes! I also started with using vm_memory traits in the beginning but delayed it till I refactor my memory subsystem. When we get that in upstream QEMU it might be possible to share…

    Yes, it's possible and supported. QEMU can emulate an aarch64 system, and Google provides aarch64 Android builds for virtual machines specifically, called "Cuttlefish". Search for …
