Is there a way internal to a KVM VM to know which host it's running on?

It could send a command via ssh to virsh on a host, and learn from that
whether the host currently has it running. But is there something within the
VM itself which will reveal this?

Thanks,

I was under the impression that without some creative uses of DMI, this 

could not be done.
