if i understand you correct,
your host is arm based and your guest is
i86-64 based?
as far as i know, accelerating is only working
if host and guest has the same processor-family.
maybe i am wrong, i am only an user.
i do not know if ubuntu is available in a arm based
version, if yes, then i would use this version and try
to use the acceleration.
