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?

thanks.

If even one of the two flags is enabled on the host, you can use the
KVM on top of Host running on QEMU using --enable-kvm option.

Otherwise you will get errors like : kvm-disbled while trying to run
KVM on top of host running on QEMU.
