I don't think nested hardware virt is supported by bhyve at the moment.
a reading of the man pages seems to confirm this as well.  i've done para-virt
nesting before but thats all in software and very slow.

you might want to see if you can use a new'ish QEMU though to emulate the hardware
needed to get android studio running.
