I noticed a flurry of postings about nested Xen about a month back.
What state is it in? Is it possible to now run nested HVM?
If so what CPUs are supported?
If it''s not in a usable state what other possibilities are there to run
nested
with full VT support? Can any other virtualiser be used to achieve this?

You can try the patch from Qing.he@intel.com posted here in Sep. We are working together to make a common ground to host both nested SVM and VMX. I can send you my internal patch as well.
