[Bug 1298070] Re: Flash-kernel shouldn't raise any errors while running inside vm instance

[Oleg Strikov]

Proposed branch includes three no-op entries: for armhf, arm64 and ARMv8
fast model (all of them provide different entries in /proc/cpuinfo)

** Branch unlinked: lp:~strikov/flash-kernel/running-inside-vm-instance

** Branch linked: lp:~strikov/flash-kernel/running-inside-vm-instance-2

** Description changed:

- While running flash-kernel inside vm instance on armhf I get the
+ 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.
