Issue #8210 has been updated by Markus Falb.
You could leave away the funny switches and just do
<pre>
$ dmidecode
... look if you find something worthfully in this lot of information ...
</pre>
I just found
<pre>
$ dmidecode -t 1
...
Product Name: KVM
...
</pre>
or shorter
<pre>
$ dmidecode -s system-product-name
KVM
</pre>

Bug #8210: virtual => physical for kvm guests
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210
Author: Markus Falb
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Adrien Thebo

Affected Facter version:
The Output from /proc/cpuinfo can not used reliable for telling that it is a
kvm virtual machine.
On a CentOS 5.6 kvm Host with CentOS guests /proc/cpuinfo tells me:
for a smp guest
model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.1
with only one cpu in the guest:
model name : Pentium II (Klamath)
but in both cases:
$ dmidecode -t 4
...
Manufacturer: QEMU
...
I believe it is possible to specify what cpu is used so on the commandline, so
relying on the model name is not always working
