Hi Fabio,
I'm also testing Win7 XP mode in nested VMX environment, but I met some
problems. In the Windows 7 HVM guest, a tool from Microsoft showed
hardware-assisted virtualization is supported, but XP mode showed "hardware-
assisted virtualization is disabled" and it refused to boot XP.
(see the attached 2 pictures to get the two conflicting messages..)

I followed the MS' below doc to set up XP mode.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
And, used the tool http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=163321 to check
whether hardware-assisted virtualization is enabled or not.

Test environment:
hardware: Sandy Bridge - EP server
L0: latest Xen 4.3, Dom0 3.10.0, qemu-xen (not traditional)
L1: Windows 7 Enterprise
L2: XP mode

my Win7 guest config file is below; can you give me any hints?
----------------------
builder = "hvm"
name = "jay-hvm-1"
memory = 2048
vcpus = 2
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ '/home/jay/win7-1.qcow2,qcow2,xvda,w' ]
vnc = 1
stdvga = 1
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'
nestedhvm=1
