Xen feature nestedhvm is the option on Xen 4.4+ which enables
nested virtualization when mode host-passthrough is applied.

Virtualization on target domain can be disabled by specifying
such under feature policy rule on target name;

[On Intel (VT-x) architecture]
<feature policy='disable' name='vmx'/>

or:

[On AMD (AMD-V) architecture]
<feature policy='disable' name='svm'/>

I think we should also give an example of enabling nested HVM. E.g.

 <cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>

And you already have a local 'caps' for cfg->caps. So this could be shortened a bit to

           vmx = virCPUCheckFeature(caps->host.arch, caps->host.cpu, "vmx");
           svm = virCPUCheckFeature(caps->host.arch, caps->host.cpu, "svm");
           hasHwVirt = vmx | svm;

+                                (svm && STREQ(def->cpu->features[i].name, "svm")))

Generally libvirt prefers to explicitly list all enum values in switch statements, e.g.

                   case VIR_CPU_FEATURE_FORCE:
                   case VIR_CPU_FEATURE_REQUIRE:
                   case VIR_CPU_FEATURE_OPTIONAL:
                   case VIR_CPU_FEATURE_LAST:
                       break;

+                    }

Long ago, in commits 5da28f24 and a6abdbf6, we changed this function signature to make it easier to unit test. Unfortunately, the subsequent unit tests were never ACKed and committed, but I haven't given up on that effort. Latest attempt was sent to the list in February

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-February/msg01477.html

Looks like we just need cfg->caps in the call chain. Can we pass the virCapsPtr to libxlBuildDomainConfig instead of the libxlDriverConfig object?

Regards,
Jim
