I don't know how this is implemented, it could be anything from binary
translation (VM) or just a cross-compile. But the technicality is that the
kernel probably isn't directly cross compiled. Rather it s likely adjusted for
the simulator and not full-on iOS. Otherwise, I'd expect to year that people
were putting the simulator on x86 tablets...
