I thought you already added MAP_JIT in 6f70ddee19e. It's getting enabled
on my M1 laptop. Was it intended or not?

    /* Applicable to both iOS and macOS (Apple Silicon). */
    if (!splitwx) {
        flags |= MAP_JIT;
    }

TCG from master branch of QEMU works fine on M1. I'm not sure why do we
need to duplicate it.
