CPU information is not always correct/complete

[Jeff Lane ]

The information displayed on certificates for CPU is not always complete.

For example, on a recent ARM certification:
https://certification.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201708-25656/

CPU is listed as aarch64 aarch64

I have a feeling this is because there is no CPU identifying data in cpuinfo and lshw. However, DMI DOES have accurate CPU identifier data:

Handle 0x001D, DMI type 4, 48 bytes
Processor Information
        Socket Designation: CPU01
        Type: Central Processor
        Family: ARM
        Manufacturer: Hisilicon
        ID: 82 D0 0F 41 00 00 00 00
        Version: Hi1616
        Voltage: 0.9 V
        External Clock: 50 MHz
        Max Speed: 2400 MHz
        Current Speed: 2400 MHz
        Status: Populated, Enabled
        Upgrade: Unknown
        L1 Cache Handle: 0x001A
        L2 Cache Handle: 0x001B
        L3 Cache Handle: 0x001C
        Serial Number: To be filled by O.E.M.
        Asset Tag: To be filled by O.E.M.
        Part Number: To be filled by O.E.M.
        Core Count: 32
        Core Enabled: 32
        Thread Count: 32
        Characteristics:
                64-bit capable
                Multi-Core
                Execute Protection
                Enhanced Virtualization
                Power/Performance Control

Note the Manufacturer and Version fields provide the desired Identifier data for this ARM64 CPU/SoC.

This was actually fixed by a different bug fix that took care of running DMI jobs when applicable.
