Public bug reported:

While running flash-kernel inside vm instance on armhf I get the
following error:

$ flash-kernel
Unsupported platform.
$ echo $?
1

This happens because dtb is not provided (we don't need it) and /proc/cpuinfo 
contains the following information:
Hardware        : Dummy Virtual Machine
But we don't have description for this 'Dummy Virtual Machine' inside all.db.

This leads to a crash of curtin (ubuntu fast path installer) because it
checks the return code.

** Affects: flash-kernel (Ubuntu)
