I don't know about ESXi 5.5, but I was just recently able to run Hyper-V 
under oVirt.  Look for my thread on "Hyper-V in a guest".  I did have to 
reboot the host for the module parameters to take effect when all was 
said and done.

Basically, you install 'vdsm-nestedvt' on your hosts. It should be in 
the repos for your distro, if you are running CentOS6 or above.

Once installed, reboot your host, as there is a parameter that needs to 
get passed to the kvm_* module when it loads to allow nested KVM.

Once you have rebooted, go to your Hosts tab and look in :Host Hooks"; 
you should see something like this:

before_vm_start  50_nestedvt

I hope this helps.
