Bug #8210: virtual fact should work for EL kvm guests
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210#change-74308

Author: Markus Falb
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.14
Keywords: 
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/340
Affected Facter version: 1.6.2


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
