I believe I already went through this with one of your coworkers via IRC a
week or so ago.  Check and make sure you're not using QEMU and that you're
using KVM for your virtualization.  This of course assumes you're on a
modern processor that support nested virt.  To check this, just set:
virt_type=kvm in your nova.conf.

You may need to enable virt settings on your physical machines bios.
