Nested VMs on Intel without VMCS Shadowing

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?
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.


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.
