Title:
  nested KVM fails on intel hardware - KVM: entry failed, hardware error
  0x0

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Using nested KVM on some hypervisors doesn't work.

  [Test Case]
  1) enable nested KVM:
  sudo modprobe -r kvm_intel
  sudo modprobe kvm_intel nested=1
  cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
  # should say Y

  2) generate an L1 guest and then generate an L2 guest inside the L1 guest
  - ensure L1 has enough memory to boot L2
  - if using libvirt you may need to edit the default bridge to use a different subnet than the L1 guest

  3) boot the L2 guest
  4) L2 guest should boot

  If not you can see the log:
  sudo cat /var/log/libvirt/qemu/nested-L2.log
