Did you try it or is this just a guess? I use Ubuntu in a VM on the M1. As I mentioned there are currently some restrictions but the direction already looks quite promising. At least far away from any earliest days ...
Most likely you're running an Ubuntu arch build then?
The IP wanted "support IA64 based OS's and it *needs* to be an exact (VM) copy of production" which most likely means "x86_64" code (not really IA64 which is Itanium, isn't it?).
