I have also been working with nested kvm topology.  However I'm using AMD.

Posted a thread to this group months ago about running node and engine
on the same physical box.

When selecting the VM setup I'm using "kvm" not "qemu".  When I select
within virt-manager "Copy host CPU configuration" it sees Opteron_G3.
The physical CPU is AMD Phenom II X4 965 .

The virtual host is running  Mint(Ubuntu 12.04) with Cinnamon desktop.
