To run this on a Mac we explicitly need to install qemu-system-x86.
Also we cannot use cpu=host when we don't run a native emulation.
Autodetect the platform to change this.

PS:
I've also managed to run the arm64 CHR image on my Mac, but for some reason it's actually much slower than the amd64 one. So I'm not spending anymore effort on this.

For the record: This was caused by the old qemu version. With a recent one it is in fact faster. See
