I learned Rosetta is efficient because it's backed by hardware on the M1. I saw that if you use Rosetta on Linux for example the Qualcomm emulator competes.
Can you share more about the hardware support? What I heard from Marcan that was driving the effort to port Linux to m1 is that the instruction set is the same as non apple arm. Is it memory architecture? Register set? Co processor acceleration?
Here is a great explanation on the matter.
