It was my fault. Inside source host, I didn't enable "Nested
Virtualization" in Edit Host -> Kernel, but in the past I installed the
package vdsm-hook-nestedvt.
This package creates the file /etc/modprobe.d/vdsm-nestedvt.conf with
options kvm-intel nested=1
and so I have
# systool -a -v -m kvm_intel | grep nested
nested = "Y"
This apparently originates guests to be started with "vmx=on" even if you
don't enable nested virtualization at edit host level from oVirt.
In the mean time I installed the hook in the target host too and I was able
to live migrate the VM.
