Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: The Cloud Sigma Datasource read and writes to /dev/ttyS1 if
  present; the Datasource does not have a time out. On non-CloudSigma
  Clouds or systems w/ /dev/ttyS1, Cloud-init will block pending a
  response, which may never come. Further, it is dangerous for a default
  datasource to write blindly on a serial console as other control plane
  software and Clouds use /dev/ttyS1 for communication.

  Fix: The patch queries the BIOS to see if the instance is running on
  CloudSigma before querying /dev/ttys1.

  Verification: On both a CloudSigma instance and non-CloudSigma instance with /dev/ttys1:
  1. Install new cloud-init
  2. Purge existing cloud-init data (rm -rf /var/lib/cloud)
  3. Run "cloud-init --debug init"
  4. Confirm that CloudSigma provisioned while CloudSigma datasource skipped non-CloudSigma instance

  Regression: The risk is low, as this change further restrict where the
  CloudSigma Datasource can run.

  And it stops there.

  I see this on about 10% of deploys.
