report 'intel VT-x implementation is incompatible with vmware'

nic,macaddr=00:12:34:12:42:14 -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/qemu-ifup win7.qcow -cpu
host
2.install VMware player
3.use VMware player
Current result:
----------------
'intel VT-x implementation is incompatible with vmware'
Expected result:
----------------
L2 guest can boot up successfully in VMware on KVM
Basic root-causing log:
