tl;dr The hypervisor detection code has been updated and we need testers
to confirm that the new code still finds the right hypervisor.
Instructions on how to test are to be found below.

Hi,

we always felt that the hypervisor detection in fireinfo was not very
reliable and sometimes detected the wrong hypervisor. So I rewrote the
detection code in order to get better results.
If you just look at the data, I don't really believe that more people
are running IPFire inside VirtualBox than in Microsoft's Hyper-V.

Before we release the code, I need you people to check if this code is
now actually better and correctly identifies all known hypervisors.

Please help me with that and download the attached tarball and extract
it on your IPFire x86 system:

  tar xvfz fireinfo-2.1.7-testing-for-ipfire.tar.gz -C /

Then run   sendprofile --dump   and search for the hypervisor, that has
been detected:

        ...
        "hypervisor": {
            "vendor": "KVM"
        }, 
        ...

Please install this on your testing machines in a virtualized
environment and get back to me if your hypervisor could be correctly
identified or not.

Best,
-Michael
