NB, in future please don't CC all possible mailing lists at once.
Just pick the most appropriate mailing list for your question. I've
dropped libvirt-list & libvirt-announce from the CC, since this is
a question most suited for libvirt-users.

Yes, that's the key guest configuration step - exposing the 'vmx' feature
to the guest.

In addition to that though, you need to make sure the kvm-intel kernel
module in your host has the "nested=1" parameter set.

eg in /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf you want

 options kvm_intel nested=1

If loaded correctly you should see

# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
Y

if it says "N", then nested VMX will be disabled.
