Description

As I understand it, dmidecode won't work on PVM guests since there is no SMBIOS data provided to the PVM guests. Only HVM guests are given SMBIOS data. The result is that each call to dmidecode returns the following stderr:

/dev/mem: mmap: Bad address

However, /proc/meminfo returns valid memory information while the MachDB frontend shows "RAM 0.0 GB".

Additionally, it appears that the reason the the total RAM is blank is because it depends on dmidecode, and not /proc/meminfo like the swapinfo does.
