Emulation of an x86 kernel level means you lose the hardware-assisted virtualization support you'd get with an ARM kernel, and emulating an MMU is slow (among other things.)

Technically this would be replacing QEMU user-mode emulation. Which isn't fast in a large part because QEMU being portable to all host architectures was more important than speed.
