Kent,
I tried using those extra arguments and got the same error regarding kvm I reported a few minutes ago:

There are instructions on how to setup KVM and nested virtualization on the tutorial that I've pasted here: "Note if you are using QEMU it is important to ensure that your host machine has VT-x support and KVM (https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page) installed. You also need to ensure you have enabled nested virtulisation with KVM guests as described here (https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Nested_Guests)." A quick way to check if nested virtualization is enabled (and therefore supported) on your host is to run `cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested`. `Y` should be returned if it's enabled. It may be easier to run the image on an actual machine instead of in qemu. The images produced can be loaded by a multiboot loader such as grub or pxelinux. (https://docs.sel4.systems/Hardware/VMware/#add-grub2-option-to-run-sel4) has an example grub config.
