I mostly agree with you (hadn't given much thought to qemu on macOSX),
with the small caveat that (on Linux) you'll end up racing the kernel
applesmc driver for access to the physical hardware; not sure whether
you'd run into anything similar on host-side macOSX as well, never
actually used it much as a developer... :)
