Sample Comments
Honestly QEmu is a better choice for this kind of things.
Unicorn / QEMU have done it already, no?
Yes, it's all just implemented using qemu helpers. I expect performance will be terrible.
Isn't this already implemented in QEMU?
The underlying tech is QEMU, so probably equivalent or better.
Qemu has a backend too if I'm not mistaken?
QEMU can do much more than this.
Possibly they're using QEMU to run Intel code?
What does this do that regular KVM + Qemu does not?
Is QEMU a practical alternative?
