I am pretty sure you still need to turn on the virtualization extensions
in the BIOS, even if kvm-ok report success.

Not something that I have verified to be true, but someone told me that,
generally, machine with Intel CPU have the virtualization extensions
turned off by default, while those with AMD CPU have them turned on.


/me shake fist at Intel for such silly default!
