Exactly. Developing and debugging is a valid use case for nested
virtualization.

Nested virtualization means that you run an hypervisor (let's call it
level-1) as a guest of another (level-0) hypervisor.

What I think you are doing is using some version of vmware as level-0,
and then Xen as level-1.

And what I meant is that you can just use Xen at both levels.

Note that I don't know if it would be easier or harder, or in general
better or worse, to do so (as compared to what you are doing right
now). I only wanted to mention that it is possible.

This page may have more information (although, I'm not sure how updated
it is):
