We already use code from imvirt 0.3 there:
lib/FusionInventory/Agent/Task/Inventory/Virtualization/Vmsystem.pm

imvirt is written Perl and so it was easy to reuse code directly to
avoid a new dependency.
I'm not a big fan of cut'n past. Maybe we should change that to get a more
maintainable code base. On the other side, in general it's trivial to detect if
we're in a virtual machine. For example, nformation is directly present in bios
vendor or CPU vendor name for VirtualBox and QEMU.

If you want to improve this part of the code, please use the master branch from
the Git repository. With Guillaume Rousse, we already did some changes since
recently.

Cheers
