   Description     : Run programs from your system in a microVM

muvm allows you to run arbitrary programs from your system in a microVM.
This tool is mainly intended to enable users to easily run programs 
designed for 4K-page systems on systems with a different page size, with 
Asahi Linux being the prime example of this use case.
Other potential use cases could be software isolation, accessing 
privileged kernel features (provided by the guest) or local testing.

I am packaging this tool to run 4K-page programs on my Apple Silicon 
Mac, especially those that require x86 emulation.
I will package muvm with debcargo-conf and maintain it in the Rust team.

Regards,
