Issue #5040 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.

I sent a slightly modified patch to dev list, because the patch I posted here 
did include some tests that belong to #5016.

I just have a few things to think about:
- I dont know how to detect a HP-VM if you run other OSes than HP-UX as a guest 
(according to wikipedia 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Integrity_Virtual_Machines it is possible). But 
I guess this scenario is not very common
- I dont know what `/usr/bin/getconf MACHINE_MODEL` will say when you run HP-UX 
as a VMWare Guest. If it also says "Virtual Machine" then my regex has to be 
more specific.

With HP-UX you can build virtual systems that are often refered to as HP-VMs. 
Facter should recognize HP-VMs and set "virtual" and "is_virtual" accordingly.

The easiest way to recognize them I've found out so far (and that doesnt rely 
on tools that might be not installed) is to call
/usr/bin/getconf MACHINE_MODEL

If you're running a HP-VM Guest you will get something like 'ia64 hp server 
Integrity Virtual Machine' so I guess /Virtual Machine/ should always fit.
