Running an hypervisor on top of QEMU

I have an X86 machine where I run QEMU to simulate some ARM architecture. Next I have installed an Ubuntu OS (for ARM architecture) on top of QEMU and it booted successfully.

Now my target is to install some hypervisor on top of Ubuntu OS so that I can run multiple ARM based VMs (guest OS) on top of it.

Which hypervisor (ARM based) I should try to install on top of Ubuntu ?

Internet says we can't run an ARM based hypervisor on top of X86 platform even though we use QEMU for simulating ARM platform. The reason being :- "QEMU, when running on an x86 host, uses TCG (Tiny Code Generator) to emulate ARM instructions. TCG does not support emulating ARM virtualization extensions, which are required to run a hypervisor on the ARM guest."

Not sure if anyone had already tried this. Any suggestion is appreciated.
