I have a new M1 MacBook Air that I would like to use for Virtual Machine development.
Can Oracle VirtualBox VMs run on this new Apple Silicon architecture?
The [documentation](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation) on the VirtualBox website states:
> In order to run VirtualBox on your machine, you need:
>
> - Reasonably powerful x86 hardware. Any recent Intel or AMD processor should do.
But it's unclear if that documentation is current, or if there are any future plans to support the Apple Silicon ARM architecture. I have not been able to find a VirtualBox blog post or [news](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/News) update that states that M1 chips will or won't be supported.
