[CentOS] How to enable the svm cpu flag inside a vm?

Hello,

I'm trying to get the Android Emulator to run inside a kvm vm on CentOS-6. Apparently the latest Android Emulators cannot run without hardware acceleration so I am trying to get the vm to see the svm cpu flag.

Host: $ grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor

$ grep svm /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nonstop_tsc extd_apicid pni monitor cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save

$ cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested 1

I have tried copying the cpu options (Opteron_G3) in the host cpu configuration and setting the svm flag to either "model", "required" or "force" to no avail:

$ ps waux | grep qemu qemu 7962 7.2 21.9 3722092 2680668 ? Rl 13:23 6:36 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name C7-Android -S -M rhel6.6.0 -cpu Opteron_G3,+invtsc,+wdt,+skinit,+ibs,+osvw,+3dnowprefetch,+cr8legacy, +extapic,+cmp_legacy,+3dnow,+3dnowext,+pdpe1gb,+fxsr_opt,+mmxext,+ht, +vme -enable-kvm -m 3072 -realtime mlock=off -smp <snip>

So the question is: How do I enable the svm flag in the guest?

Regards, Leonard.
