alvm allows you to run any Linux binary on MacOS machine without Linux VMs. This is just my experiment to build a low level Linux emulator via Apple's Hypervisor.framework.
It simply runs the Linux ELF binary in a hypervisor VM without kernel, and handles the syscall svc
instruction,
which is trapped as a hardware exception, in the user land Rust code.
