it’s not really done because of that - it’s rather that by default none of the 
named CPU models are adding vmx and so the guest doesn’t look like capable of 
virtualization. Cpu passthrough does, because it passes all the flags, but it 
also enforces host pinning. Which is then a nice coincidence because indeed the 
migration wouldn’t work anyway:)
And it’s something to keep in mind now in later 4.2.z and 4.3 where we now 
allow migration of VMs with cpu passthrough. But it’s not for this use case and 
there nested environment still doesn’t support migration properly and you need 
to make sure not to migrate.
