We don't want to build the full Buildroot image inside the VM as that would be way too slow, thus the recommendation for the prebuilt setup.

It is used mostly for microarchitecture research purposes: when you are making a new chip technology, you don't really need to specialize enormously to an existing microarchitecture, but rather develop something that will work with a wide range of future architectures.

** gem5 ARM at least appears to implement more low level CPU functionality than QEMU, e.g. QEMU only added EL2 in 2018, and EL3 is yet unimplemented: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42824706/qemu-system-aarch64-entering-el1-when-emulating-a53-power-up gem5 `fs.py` can enable EL3 with `-V` and EL2 with `--enable-security-extensions`

This implies that the user base is much smaller, since no Android devs.
