KVM on Xen works for me. Also KVM on Xen on Xen.

Eddie?  Did you test with KVM guests?  Is this expected to work?

Hi Tim/Eddi/Christoph,

I just gave it a go again with cs23640. But the behaviour is still the
same. so L1 becomes inresponsive after starting the second nested quest.
I can deliver any trace input you want/need.

mfg,
Jeroen.

Hi,

Based on these patch series, I gave it go.
I noticed until now that the system becomes in-responsive a few second
after activating the second nested guest.
steps:
1) dom0 creates domu (pass)
2) domU creates first kvm guest (pass)
3) domU creates second kvm guest (fail)
after the third step the domu becomes in-responsive. eg no network /
vnc console response. in dom0 is shows domu is stil running.

I'm able to provide any input needed, just tell me what you need (and
how).

mfg,
Jeroen

My HW setup
mobo asus z8nr-d12
proc: 2 times e5645
mem: 96 GB

My goal/test
in short: HW ->  dom0 ->  domU ->  4 time kvm guest

dom0
opensuse 11.4 x86
xen: unstable cs 23553

domu (HVM)
sles11sp1
mem: 8 GB
vcpu: 4

domu guests
1) qemu-kvm: propetary OS
2) qemu-kvm: propetary OS
3) qemu-kvm: SLES10SP3
4) qemu-kvm: SLES10SP3

Are you planning to fix this before checking in this series?  I'm
pretty
sure that at least MSR_IA32_VMX_VMCS_ENUM should be trivial, since you
define your own VMCS format.

Sure, the updated patch is attached.
Thanks.  I've applied the full series.  I cleaned up a few things for
the 32-bit build as well.

Cheers,

Tim.
