Resurrecting this thread a bit, here's what virt detection in ohai looks like right now on a SmartOS host:

  "virtualization": {

    "system": "zone",

    "role": "guest",

    "guest_uuid": "b3ce5ff0-33a5-4fa3-ab7f-8035350bed54"

  },

Would it make sense to extend this a bit, maybe like this?:

  "virtualization": {

    "system": "zone",

    "role": "guest",

    "flavor": "base64-13.1.2"

    "guest_uuid": "b3ce5ff0-33a5-4fa3-ab7f-8035350bed54"

  },

I'm not familiar, what is the "flavor" here describing?
