Thank you for the response. Does that mean, an svm test such as vmrun is essentially testing nested virtualization whereby a new VM is started within the VM created by QEMU ? Also, in order to add debugging information to trace the execution of svm.flat within QEMU, is the proper approach adding "-g" to COMMON_CFLAGS within x86/Makefile.x86_64 ?
