Title:
  Flash-kernel shouldn't raise any errors while running inside vm
  instance

Status in “flash-kernel” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  While running flash-kernel inside qemu instance on armhf I get the
  following error:

  $ flash-kernel
  Unsupported platform.
  $ echo $?
  1

  This happens because dtb is not provided (we don't need it) and /proc/cpuinfo contains the following information:
  Hardware	: Dummy Virtual Machine
  But we don't have description for this 'Dummy Virtual Machine' inside all.db.

  This leads to a crash of curtin (ubuntu fast path installer) because
  it checks the return code.
