    x86: vmware: look for DMI string in the product serial key · fd8cd7e1

    Impact: Should permit VMware detection on older platforms where the
    vendor is changed.  Could theoretically cause a regression if some
    weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure
    chance.  Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case.
    
    In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific
    DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific.
    Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI
    information.
