[Bug 1813165] Re: KVM internal error. Suberror: 1 emulation failure

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

'nested' parameter for kvm_intel module controls whether you're able to
run nested configurations and it is enabled by default, it doesn't say
anything about whether your configuration is nested or not.

Could you please describe your environment? In case it is nested, it will look 
like:
L0(host) Linux 5.4.0 .... with KVM
L1(guest) Linux xxxx with KVM
L2(nested guest) Linux xxxx

Note that L2 in this scenario is running "inside" L1 and that's why it
is nested.

Also, it is important to know if L1 or L2 in this configuration are UEFI
booted, it is not very important how you boot the host (L0).
