Host-passthrough & nested virtualization are mandatory.
Yes indeed. I don't know if I missed this in the docs, but it wasn't
obvious. However using host-passthrough fixed it.

Yes, thank you, you are absolutely right.
I had the CPU model set to "host-model" (where libvirt tries to create
a model approximating the host). Changing it to "host-passthrough"
(ie. same as qemu -cpu host) fixed it and allowed me to install oVirt
node in the guest and activate it.
