This message means that the host machine has no KVM (libvirt) support. As you're running it in a VM, I would guess that KVM nesting (support for running VM within a VM) isn't enabled.

To check whether nesting is enabled, run:

$ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested

To enable it, you need to set the processor type for your VM to 'host-passthrough'.

You can then check that virtualization is properly enabled on your host by running:

$ sudo virt-host-validate

This directory is only created after you run 'vagrant box add'.
