Bug Description

Starting nova-compute with libvirt fails:

  import pkg_resources
libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/hubs/hub.py", line 336, in fire_timers
    timer()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/hubs/timer.py", line 56, in __call__
    cb(*args, **kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/eventlet/greenthread.py", line 192, in main
    result = function(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nova/service.py", line 77, in run_server
    server.start()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nova/service.py", line 149, in start
    self.manager.update_available_resource(ctxt)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nova/exception.py", line 129, in wrapped
    raise Error(str(e))
Error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

This is due to non-intel architectures dont provide dmi infomration. A patch for this will be sent shortly.
