            Bug ID: 1614615
           Summary: "How to enable nested virtualization in KVM" page
                    incorrectly describes sysfs nested parameter
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
         Component: virtualization-guide

Description of problem:

The documentation at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualization-in-kvm/index.html
states that /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested reports whether or not
nested virtualization is supported. This is incorrect; it reports whether or
not nested virtualization is enabled on the kvm_intel or kvm_amd kernel module.

How reproducible:

always.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) use an intel system that supports virtualization
2) load the kvm_intel module normally
3) cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
4) unlock kvm_intel
5) load kvm_intel with nested=Y
6) cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested

Actual results:

The first 'cat' command displays 'N'. The second 'cat' command display 'Y'. The
documentation says that 'N' as a result of the first 'cat' command implies that
nested virtualization is not supported, but the second 'cat' command
demonstrates that it is.

Expected results:

The documentation should correctly describe that, if the first 'cat' command
produces 'N', it means that nested virtualization is disabled, not that nested
virtualization is not supported.
