OK, I have feedback from my ISP. Their kernel does not include dmi, on
the basis that it's been deprecated since 2005!
They've worked around this problem by installing the natty libvirt
package which does not suffer this problem.
I guess a backport request would be appropriate.
Sorry to trouble
I don't see where it is deprecated in the kernel.
Glad it's now working for you. Closing this bug as requested :)

That search finds nothing.
The kernel is supplied and configured by my ISP - the stock kernel is
not stable - I've asked them to contribute to this report.
