Nice, can we rely on this to be static?  Will the following structure always
match properly?

static struct dmi_system_id __initdata microsoft_hyperv_table[] = {
	{
		.ident = "hyperv",
		.matches = {
			DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "MicrosoftCorporation"),
			DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "VirtualMachine"),
			DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "VirtualMachine"),
		},
	},
};

That would be good to match with, but I don't know if all distro tools
can properly handle DMI module stuff just yet.

Ah, nice.  Can we rely on this always being present?

If so, what is the vendor and product id of this device?

Is it:
	Vendor id 0x1414
or:
	Vendor id 0x045e

Microsoft has both assigned to them, and probably others.

Is the device id 0x5353?

You can see this by doing the following:
	lspci -n | grep 08\\.0
what is the output of that?

thanks,
