[Bug 1170325] Re: Facter 1.6.X not considering Qemu/KVM virtual type

[rustx]

OK.

First of all, i am pasting here the commit that fixed that bug on puppet
repositories :

https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/commit/5c653e98e97ba8e83a46b8e0c1fd72dfe672964b

You can see that this fix is really close to the patch I provided you.

Here are the SRU explanation I can provide you.

[Impact]

When running Ubuntu OS with Proxmox VE updated on version 2.3, the
output for the /proc/cpuinfo file changes on the running VM, and the
facter utils will not recognized the VM as being 'virtual', but as being
'physical'

[Test Case]



[Regression Potential] 

 * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
of this change.

 * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
   upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
   to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
   event of a regression.

 * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
   and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.

[Other Info]
 
 * Anything else you think is useful to include
 * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
 * and address these questions in advance
