[PATCH] Bug fix: Allow sysinfo to display processor information

[Prerna Saxena <prerna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Subject: [PATCH] On systems with dmidecode version 2.10 or older,
 dmidecode displays processor information, followed by BIOS, system and
 memory-DIMM details.
 Calls to virSysinfoParseBIOS(), virSysinfoParseSystem() would update
 the buffer pointer 'base', so the processor information would be lost
 before virSysinfoParseProcessor() was called. Sysinfo would therefore
 not be able to display processor details -- It only described <bios>,
 <system> and <memory_device> details.
 This patch attempts to insulate sysinfo from ordering of dmidecode
 output.

Before the fix:
---------------
virsh # sysinfo
<sysinfo type='smbios'>
  <bios>
    ....
  </bios>
  <system>
    ....
  </system>
  <memory_device>
    ....
  </memory_device>

After the fix:
-------------
virsh # sysinfo
<sysinfo type='smbios'>
  <bios>
    ....
  </bios>
  <system>
    ....
  </system>
  <processor>
    ....
  </processor>
  <memory_device>
    ....
  </memory_device>
