Nested VMs on Intel without VMCS Shadowing

Guest type: Linux Host type: other

Description

Having nested VMs as of 6.0 is great, but the requirement for Intel VMCS Shadowing means that it's only available on a limited set of CPUs.

Is there any chance of adding for support on CPUs that do not have VMCS Shadowing? At least for Linux guests?

A minor addition: I note that nested VMs work fine with VMWare on my i970H processor. If it's a VMWare Guest, I can happily run nested guests using either VirtualBox or VMware.
