Colima cause system crash on MacOS M1 #1039

Description

I need to develop x86 software on an Apple M1 Macbook Pro, so my solution was to use Colima with Rosetta support. I did the setup with this command:

colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta --cpu 8 --memory 8

It works perfectly until I stay in the Lima VM (and any conatiner in Colima), but unfortunatelly all other ative Apple M1 app are frequently crashes. (MacOs Calendar, Chrome, Slack, etcd)

I tried to narrow the issue down, and until Colima is not started, everything is ok. After that, random crashes are came. One more thing, if I stop Colima, usually a full system reboot needs to be done, to get rid of all the issues.

Version

% colima version && limactl --version && qemu-img --version

Operating System

Output of colima status

% colima status INFO[0000] colima is running using macOS Virtualization.Framework INFO[0000] arch: aarch64 INFO[0000] runtime: docker INFO[0000] mountType: virtiofs INFO[0000] socket: unix:///Users/golibali/.colima/default/docker.sock

Reproduction Steps

  1. Start Colima with command colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta --cpu 8 --memory 8
  2. Use it a bit (attach a VSCode, run some golang tests)
  3. Watch other Mac apps as they not responding/crashing ...

Expected behaviour

It would be great if all the native apple apps remain workable after Colima is started.

Additional context

I created a development x86 container in Colima with the --platform linux/amd64, and attached a VSCode to it. I don't know if it matters, probably not.
