to put a complex infrastructure "as it is" in a deploayable and
saveable image and test even VMotion/HA and network migrations
between different clusters while virtualize them all with their
real IP-addresses to test, adapt and migrate configurations?

and no, nested virtualization is not that slow

a Fedora 17 x86_64 guest boots here in 10 seconds inside
a ESXi5 running on top of VMware Workstation with a Fedora
18 x86_64 host on the bare metal

KVM is way behind VMware here, but starts to support it in
general, but that does not mean ESXi will run fine while
the other way around works these days

why do you not use google if you know the term "nested virtualization"?
that is why EPT was invented
