How to enable nested virtualization on Intel?

[markjreed]

Describe the issue
Not able to enable nested virtualization despite running on x86_64 Mac. Issues and enhancement requests I can find about this all seem to relate to the feature's unavailability on Apple Silicon. If it works on x86_64, how do you enable it?

Configuration

• UTM Version: 4.4.5
• macOS Version: 14.0
• Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): Intel (3.2GHZ Xeon W)

I think this is a QEMU question. If you figure out the right command line for QEMU (on macOS) for this to work, please post it here and I can try to include it in a future build.

Same issue here. I believe the offending QEMU argument is "-accel hvf", which is set by default. But it still does not produce the expected result.

Note: This issue may relate to #3405 or #5594.
