I had this problem myself and first of all you should try to contact 
Gigabyte Tech-Support, regarding your problem, though I guess you'll get 
the same answer as me: We do not support Virtualization :-/

I found a solution myself, but I can't tell you if it works for you too. 
I used a tool to modify the binary bios-file and found out that the 
virtualization option is hidden and disabled. With this tool I reenabled 
the Virtualization feature and the flash procedure went fine. So, now 
I'm able to run HVM machines under Xen.
I need to say that this method is very dirty and if anything goes wrong 
you can't held me responsible for anything. But I am willing to help if 
you decide to take the risk. For me and a friend of mine everything went 
fine.
I will check your bios-file within the hour and will come back to you 
with an answer regading if it's possible or not.
