Unless this is a lot better tested and audited wouldn't it make more sense
to default it to off?

I don't think it's a big burden to let users set a special knob for this,
but it would be a big problem if there was some kind of jail break 
hidden in there that could be exploited by malicious guests.

Since VMX was not originally designed to be nested that wouldn't surprise me.
