----------------------------------------
With the launch of GCE v1 API, Google has revised the recommended way of 
determining if the virtual machine resides within GCE.  Updated instructions 
state to use 'sudo dmidecode -s bios-vendor | grep Google' (same URL, new 
instructions at https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/instances#dmi).

GCE v1 no longer requires google-only kernels and we can no longer rely on the 
old method of checking /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/1-0/raw.  The "virtual" 
utility, 
https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/lib/facter/util/virtual.rb#L160
 requires an update.
