Hi men,

Based on a CPU supporting full virtualization, 
can we install another VMM(hypervisor) on a HVM guest?
I wish the picture explains my idea.

Yes, but VT/SVM are not themselves virtualized, so the nested hypervisor 
would have to be able to work without them (Xen w/ PV guests, for example).
