Note that the "supported" way in terms of hardware is via the cpuid
Hypervisor present leaf and Hypervisor CPUID Information Leaf

See eg http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=blob;f=virt-what-cpuid-helper.c;h=3024c375cb7b71142ded2a6a5836574d5b21f2f5;hb=HEAD

But that would involve making part of facter C and would probably
break jruby support, unless we used ffi somehow
