So the question is: How do I enable the svm flag in the guest?
The qemu-kvm option "-enable-nesting" that I dug up in the source looks promising. No mention in the man page on either C6 or C7 but it is mentioned here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg01138.html
How do I pass the "-enable-nesting" option to qemu-kvm using either virt-manager.py, virsh or the domain xml?
Hoping to avoid having to patch the source a such:
