AFAIK, running nested guests and migration while nested guest is running should
work on both Intel and AMD, but there were lots of fixes in this area recently
so a very new kernel should be used.

Plus in some cases if the nested guest is 32 bit, the migration still can fail,
on Intel at least, last time I checked. On AMD I just recently fixed
such issue for 32 bit guest and it seems to work for me.

I also know that if the nested guest is hyper-v enabled (which is a bit
overkill as
this brings us to a double nesting), then it crashes once in a whileafter lots
of migration
cycles.

So there are still bugs, but overall it works.
