Describe the bug

Rex::Hardware::VirtInfo assumes that QEMU is kvm. This is may only be true if the host is Linux and is definitely false for any other OS.

    elsif ( $sys_vendor =~ /QEMU/ ) {
      $virtualization_type = "kvm";
      $virtualization_role = "guest";
    }

Sadly no good fix for this as people are likely expecting this bug to work like this given how long standing it has been.

Expected behavior

$virtualization_type set to qemu.

How to reproduce it

  1. Check virtualization info from dump_system_information on a QEMU VM.

Code example

use Rex; use Rex::Commands::Gather; dump_system_information;
