I don't think arguing about use cases is very productive.

The concern is that nested VMX is invasive and presents a long term 
maintenance burden.  There are two ways to mitigate this burden.  The 
first is to work extra hard to make things as common as humanly possible 
between nested VMX and nested SVM.  The second is to make sure that we 
have an aggressive set of test cases.

I think the later is perhaps the most important point of all.
