Is it possible to pass the vmx extension to a guest? Is that what the vhost custom
property is for?

Yes, but you need nested kvm support in the host (which is not available
in stock el6), and to install the "nestedvt" hook. More about it in
http://community.redhat.com/blog/2013/08/testing-ovirt-3-3-with-nested-kvm/

Nope, that's to turn off a certain type of vNIC optimization that used
to be detrimental to certain guests.

Is there anything else that I need to do beside installing those vdsm hooks? I ask because
you said that its not available in stock el6

well on el6 this won't work, due to missing support of passing on the
nested-vt flag, you could run a newer libvirt/kvm version on your el6
installation, if you really want/need this, but I would not encourage
you to do so.

You need to check if nested KVM support is enabled on your machine
cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
If the answer is "N":
echo "options kvm-intel nested=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf
Then reboot. This and vdsm-hook-nestedvt package should be enough.
