I want a command which will tell me what hardware I have on my system.
Akin to 'hinv' on Irix.  I can get this information from dmesg, or
from /var/log/messages, if the last reboot wasn't too long ago, but if
a system has been up for months or years I don't really want to have
to reboot to get this information.

It seems likely that this wouldn't be too hard for a kvm program.
