Comment 6 for bug 1271615

I managed to login on such a machine, and while I couldn't register it with landscape due to other reasons (restricted access, no root, etc), I was able to check that the /proc/cpuinfo file that it exposes would have been enough to flag it as a virtual machine for Landscape.

So, this was verified with the package from trusty-proposed:

(trusty-ppc64el)andreas@kelsey01:~$ apt-cache policy landscape-client
