It *is* possible to do KVM in KVM, actually. I just set it up today (but it
was my manually created KVM hosting a devstack launching KVM guests, not
the same situation as Daniel). I've heard this "you can't do KVM in KVM"
thing from a few different people and I want to make sure that it's clear
that you actually can, given the correct hardware support.
