There is active development and testing going on for this type of feature.

For AMD, take a look at nested svm
http://xen.markmail.org/search/?q=nested%20svm#query:nested%20svm+page:1+mid:z33lihxnbdjghua5+state:results

For Intel, take a look at nested vmx

I think the patches are only in xen-unstable at the moment and they
are actively being tweaked and tested. If you try them out and have
problems, post to the xen-devel mailing list (see also
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/AskingXenDevelQuestions)

Thanks,
Todd
