Hi,

I found that running FreeBSD inside new M1 macbooks is stable and fast. 
I did a small article about it in my blog: 
https://smallhacks.wordpress.com/2022/06/09/booting-freebsd-13-1-arm64-on-macos-arm64-using-qemu/

Only issue i found is that when the guest is active it is causing very 
high CPU usage on the host, it seems that idle cycles from VM are not 
passed to the host correctly. Anyone aware what could be tuned to fix 
that?
