RFR: 8219241: Provide basic virtualization related info in the hs_error file on linux/windows x86_64

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi Erik ,   thanks for your comment and your interest in the topic .

We already   thought about    bringing the virtualization info  into  JFR .

Did  you notice  that  we   already included  some virtualization  related   info   for   Linux on Power  and Linux s390x  ?

( 8219241 is still in review but hopefully  soon  in jdk/jdk   ).


( In  our  proprietary   JVM  we have  some more  virtualization  related info ,  for example  AIX PowerVM  metrics  and   VMWare/VSphere  (extended) metrics information  on Linux/Windows  ;
  Probably some of this might make it over time into the  Open JDK too )


Best regards, Matthias
