        Hi,

        Are you talking about running KVM(hardware virtualization) enabled
        support on top of a Linux host running on only QEMU (software
        virtualization)? I doubt if this is nesting is possible. To be sure,
        you can check for the following flags on your host:
        cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e svm -e vmx


    You can run AMD KVM inside QEMU.  The default CPU model "qemu64"
    provides this capability.


oh great! do we suppport EPT, VCMS shadow yet?

No nested page tables, and VMCS shadow is only supported by Intel processors not AMD.

Oh, I always think that without EPT, it would not be possible to have nested VMX. Am I wrong here?

Thanks,
Jun
