Hey!

With the latest CloudInit on Xenial, I got:

```

In the source code, I see the detection script is looking for
"CloudStack" in DMI. It doesn't find it as it doesn't exist. CloudStack
runs on a variety of hypervisor. We run it on top of QEMU/KVM. I don't
think there is an easy way to find out we are running CloudStack without
contacting the metadata server.

```
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_name:Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)

```

I would suggest to not display a warning when `datasource_list` is set
to a unique value, since in this case, there is nothing to try and it's
likely the unique value is the correct one.
