[libvirt] [PATCH] add nested HVM to libxl

[Alvin Starr]

I agree that it needs to be done the right way.

I am willing to help where I can but my basic knowledge of the code is 
badly lacking so there is no reasonable way for me to contribute in a 
significant way.

I am ok keeping my own hacks to the code that let me work along on my 
projects and hope that some day this will get fixed.
