Title:
   identify openstack kvm platform on ppc64

Status in cloud-init:
  Expired
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  On i386 and amd64, openstack puts 'OpenStack Nova', into the dmi platform
  information. OpenStack using kvm on ppc64el or ppc64, does not identify itself to the guest in any way.

  The result is that cloud-init cannot identify it is running on
  openstack.

  We need two things
   a.) change openstack to provide that information through libvirt on ppc64
       in some way.
   b.) possibly changes in qemu to pass information through that the guest
       can see.  Some options here might include putting information in
       the device tree or possibly on the attached disk (model of the disk could be 'OpenStack disk XXXX').
