I was able to reproduce the bug on another type of processor (core i7).
/dev/kvm is not available with vivid kernel but available with trusty kernel.

Title:
  kvm_intel (nested) module will not load [Input/output error]

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have 2 different systems, both are kvm instances themselves, both running vivid.
  One of them has /dev/kvm and kvm working fine (well, fine-ish bug 1413540).
  The other will not load the kvm_intel module.
