That's great information, and a good validation that it is possible. Thanks! I did end up installing linux-image-extra-virtual and it brought in KVM. It SEEMS that everything is working, but my veewee attempts all end at "Done typing." (That may not be the exact wording.) And yes, I did the modprobing. Oddly, when I set up a real machine with a veewee environment and tried the same thing, I got the same result. So it's probably not the nested virt that is the issue here. That's why I stopped posting about it here. It's no longer OpenStack-related (it was barely that to start with! :)) This page: http://www.cberendt.de/2013/03/usage-of-nested-virtualization-inside-instances says that I need to set libvirt_cpu_mode to host-passthrough in nova.conf. I did that, rebooted all nova-* services and rebooted the guest, but I never saw the stuff in dmesg that it claims I should. Ah well, I'll keep plodding on until it works. Thanks for your input!
