Looks line --disable-kvm-nested is set by default in 5.x builds
which would cause the parse error above as the CLI option wouldn't be
defined.

Sorry my comment above was relative to 6.x and confusing in this
context.  The actual goal here was disable of vmx/svm by default.

Comment 2 john cooper 2011-05-11 16:48:37 UTC
--disable-kvm-nested is set by default in the 5.x qemu configure
thus this options isn't supported in 5.x.
