Hi,

FWIW, Intel Haswell architecture adds features (Shadow VMCS, nEPT)
that, when using a recent enough qemu/kvm, make nested virtualization
actually usable to run our test suite. Works fine for me :)

Details: https://github.com/kashyapc/nvmx-haswell/blob/master/SETUP-nVMX.rst

The bad news is that one needs a super-recent Intel CPU to take
advantage of this. Others will still need to either run the test suite
directly on their usual system, or to get a dedicated machine to
run it.

Cheers,
