Subject: [PATCH] virt: detect Amazon EC2 Nitro instance
Amazon EC2 Nitro hypervisor is technically based on KVM[1], which
systemd-detect-virt identify propely from CPUID. However the lack of
CPUID on aarch64 (A1, T4 instance type) prevents a correct
identification, impacting hostnamectl and systemd-random-seed. Instead
it's possible to identify virtualization from DMI vendor ID.
Prior to this commit:
