Right now, biosdevname completely and silently refuses to run in virtual machines. In reality, it works in most VMs just fine, so there should be at least an option to allow that, and an error message to explain why it refuses to run and what to do.

Also, the VM check is specific to x86.

  • Add an option to allow running biosdevname in VMs: -V, --allow-vm
  • Add an error message when trying to run it in a VM without that option.
  • Limit the CPUID check to x86 CPUs, effectively disable it on other architectures for now.
