Yes, Thank you very much for this. It is something I wanted to do for a very long time already, but always was too lazy to do so ... ;) But now when I think about it... You asked a right question: "what you really want to collect?". And the answer to it is simple: "nothing". In old days when kvm was a child and many childish errors existed, it were difficult to determine if on a given system the necessary extensions (SVM/VMX) are enabled in the BIOS. Now, kvm module prints this at load time if something is not enabled, and if everything's ok, it Just Work(tm). Plus, even knowing motherboard/system/bios version isn't quite useful since it's difficult to find the same thing locally to check something in there. Even more plus, lshal block from reportbug was almost always empty... ;) So I guess the best way now is just to drop the whole thing altogether, for good. In the next upload (and now tagging both bugs as pending, too). Thank you very much for noticing this (and the other counterpart about motherboard vs system info), for finding time to report, and for the finally cleaned up long-standing dirt. Really, it is nice to understand that there are people who don't think such things are not important and help keeping things in a good clean state.
