Bug Description

Because kvm_intel is being auto-loaded early on, then KVM_NESTED argument in /etc/init/qemu-kvm is being ignored.

Perhaps we should always install a /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-kvm.conf file which has

options kvm_intel nested=1

Turns out this is actually a regression from quantal, where we installed a /etc/modprobe.d file to set the nested option. Testing a fix now.

This bug was fixed in the package qemu - 1.4.0+dfsg-1expubuntu4

---------------
qemu (1.4.0+dfsg-1expubuntu4) raring; urgency=low

  * re-add qemu-system-x86.modprobe to set nesting=1 (LP: #1155177)
  * qemu-system-x86.qemu-kvm.upstart:
    - remove NESTED workarounds from upstart file.
    - remove loading of modules which is now always done
    - remove TAPR define which is no longer used
  * move customizable defines back to qemu-kvm.default
  * copy creation of group kvm to preinst - the group must exist when the
    kvm udev rule is installed (LP: #1103022) (LP: #1092715)
  * add adduser to qemu-system-common Pre-Depends for use by preinst.
