Works out of the box, perfect for VM orchestration with QEMU without having to type long commands with virtio.

Some hiccups I've encountered however:

• There are hardcoded paths like /etc/resolv.conf though it does use its own DNS fallback which the internet works. So far VM works, but I'm not sure if there are more issues I'd encounter later on
• Most templates have nonexistent 9p share which is /tmp/lima is being mounted.
• From the comment above containing the build.sh snippet, qemu x86_64 and aarch64 should be a dependency, otherwise it would fail to start VM. I believe it only support these two arches?
