VM Support for Intel VT-x

Are there any virtual machines that support the emulation of Intel VT-x (vmx) instruction set? Xen seems to be the only one at this point, but it refuses to work with my wireless device (ipw3945).

Any help would be appreciated.

kvm does, but it's basically (at this stage) qemu using virtualization extensions.

Of course, everything that is listed on the Wikipedia page can utilize the VT-x extensions.

But other than Xen, can any support nested hardware virtual machines? As in the hypervisor itself supports the emulation of the Intel vmx instructions called by the guest.
