> not sure if hardware virtualization for ARM exist though

Virtualization extensions have been available since the Cortex A15 or thereabouts.

Linux supports normal KVM on both ARM32 and ARM64 although there are mutterings about dropping support for ARM32.

In practice, the hypervisor is usually already grabbed by the platform (e.g. on Android/Snapdragon it's taken by the TrustZone driver and can't be used yourself, even if you rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_KVM).

Interesting info, thanks. I also missed the point that Apple is going to design new CPU, they are definitely able to add any hardware virtualization instructions
