Brief discussion thread - http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/29/355
Added VMware detection via cpuid.Mimic'd VMware's balloon driver's init-time
check(cpuid followed by dmi-checks). Moved the existing logic into a simple
function to achieve that.
Tested virt-what.in(ran as a script) and virt-what-cpuid-helper within
a Linux guest on ESX. Thanks.
