imvirt fails to detect the KVM hypervisor on my squeeze machines (using
the sid package, too). It seems it can't decide if it's QEMU or KVM. As
KVM is essentially QEMU "on the rocks", it's not a surprise.

   # imvirt
   Unknown
   # imvirt -d
   $VAR1 = {
             'Physical' =>  '0.0232558139534884',
             'KVM' =>  '0.488372093023256',
             'QEMU' =>  '0.488372093023256'
           };

I have started to improve heuristics, and can supply a patch. However,
I would like to ask if I should avoid giving points in the QEMU detection
if KVM is detected or if that strategy is not wanted?

Currently I tried to give more and more points based on KVM clues, but
that does not help much and proved to be tedious.

I would prefer to prohibit giving points on false detection. If a detector code detects another virtualization flavor it should decrease its own rating.
