Re: [Xen-devel] Xen inside Xen with VMX?
You can run Xen within an HVM domain but you won't be able to run HVM domains
inside that. The HVM environment does not provide emulated VMX / SVM support
at the moment.

Well, there are plenty of existing machines out there that don't support HVM -
and even one ones that theoretically do it may be disabled in the BIOS. So
you can't tell just from that aspect of the CPU behaviour that you're running
in a VM.
There are more obvious Xen/Qemu-specific interfaces that can tell the guest
straightforwardly that it's in a VM, though.
Cheers,
