The result with c/s23197

Regular domain now start, en stop normaly, (xl seems to have a problem though, after domain closes a domain null remains in de xl list/ xmdoe not have this.) for nestedVM I added the "nestedhvm=1" in the config file of the domain. but the domain does not start because of "invalid argument"

+++++++++ beging console
hydra:/etc/xen/vm # xm create groscNestedVM
Using config file "./groscNestedVM".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Probably the same as this, happening often in the automated tests:
Likely reason: nestedhvm_vcpu_initialise() being called unconditionally in
hvm_vcpu_initialise() even though nestedhvm has not been configured for this
domain. This then fails because there is no nestedhvm handler for Intel yet.
This bug should be fixed by 23175:e5a750d1bf9b, arriving at a staging
tree near you at any moment.

And beyond that it's most likely an issue of a broken failure path, or a
problem in the HAP code with cleaning up a half-created guest.
This one I'll look into now.

Tim.
