Since this is a pretty standard mechanism, it may make sense to include this

What for? We already expose a QEMU cpu type that shows up in cpuinfo as so.
All we'd have to do would be put the kvm information in the cpu type
too. This would work
in all kernels, without the need to patch.
What I'm talking about, is something like:

HypervisorPresent:   yes
HypervisorType:   KVM

Where HypervisorVendor could be KVM, Hyper-V, or ESX based on what the cpuid leaf matched.
