I mean the 'guest mode' of VMX, as opposed to code that runs in VMX 
domain context, but within the hypervisor in 'host mode'.

I thought that VMX provided a virtual equivalent of SMM, where 
management and emulation code can run under the OS's feet without it 
realising? If this is not provided then I do not think the trick can 
work, as you would need to steal some virtual address space in which to 
execute the qemu code.
