I don't think you'd even need nested virt, since the tests run on bare
metal (via Duffy). If you do virtualise, then the hosts that the tests
run on are virt-capable.

You may not even need virtualisation as you can launch multiple hosts
and could configure them to run tests between each other. The
sclo-ci-tests are rather hardcoded for a single host, but this could be
extended either as a one-off or build it into the data in the repo some
more, e.g. a separate run.sh script per host.
