A system at work said I did have the vmx flag (actually there is a different
flag for AMD chips as well), but I still couldn't use kvm. Finally discovered
strange BIOS setting that would only take effect after a power cycle. So
not only do you need the chip support, you need a BIOS that allows you to
enable it (and the cpuinfo test won't check for that). I have heard
horror stories of BIOS version which refuse to offer the ability to enable
the feature (but never personally seen one), so merely checking vmx may
not be enough.
