I had already found you blog post via Google :). In fact, I used some of the 
things you wrote for setting up my system, in the hopes that I would have more 
luck.

BTW, the line for modprobe.d/dist.conf should read

options kvm_intel nested=1

In your blog post, the "options" keyword is missing.

Yeah, I've seen that comment, that was what prompted me to update the server's 
firmware. The Dell BIOS does not offer the option to disable VT for Direct I/O 
Access, though.

Unfortunately, AMD is not an option for me, at least not in this particular 
context.
