hardware info tar file from ibm-p730-02-lp3.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com

Description of problem:
The cpu.cpu_socket(s) fact is used for compliance calculations on a ppc64 system consuming a "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta for IBM POWER" subscription.  However the fact values used for compliance computation are different than what is reported by lscpu as shown in the facts list below...

The consequence of this case is that subscription-manager will require more subscriptions to be attached to achieve compliance than what is arguably necessary.

Verifying....

First, let's re-confirm the failure on offending hardware...
[root@ibm-p730-02-lp3 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 Beta (Maipo)
[root@ibm-p730-02-lp3 ~]# uname -a

[root@ibm-p730-02-lp3 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager

Now let's re-test after updating subscription-manager package...
[root@ibm-p730-02-lp3 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
