In one embodiment of the invention, the exit and/or entry process in a nested virtualized environment is made more efficient. For example, a layer 0 (L0) virtual machine manager (VMM) may emulate a layer 2 (L2) guest interrupt directly, rather than indirectly through a layer 1 (L1) VMM. This direct emulation may occur by, for example, sharing a virtual state (e.g., virtual CPU state, virtual Device state, and/or virtual physical Memory state) between the L1 VMM and the L0 VMM. As another example, L1 VMM information (e.g., L2 physical to machine address translation table) may be shared between the L1 VMM and the L0 VMM.
