Sounds like a good idea. Another way would be for libosinfo to
expose some platform_name and platform_version strings with well defined
formats, this would allow for the matching to less magic.
This is more magic than what you suggest, but has the advantage of not
requiring libvirt changes. I might give a try to the regex match approach
you suggest.
