Example of /proc/sysinfo contents on a RHEL5 guest

Description of problem:
Satellite does not currently include any identification of System z specific information such as the LPAR or the z/VM instance name it is running under.  This can make tracking RHEL guests on System z difficult through the management interface.

Identification Support in RHEL:
Newer updates to RHEL5 include a proc interface (/proc/sysinfo) that contains some of this information.  Adding this to the hardware tab of a system in Satellite would be enormously helpful for auditing.
