Looks pretty good! Just one change request: I am a bit afraid that the check is a bit too broad. I'd really prefer if we could at least check that this occurs on a line of its own. Maybe look for "\nvendor_id", then skip all spaces from there, and check if this is followed by ": User Mode Linux\n"? That should be a pretty safe check I figure, since newlines are used as field separators in the file and it appears unlikely that they'd appear unescaped in any of the other fields... And it would still grant the kernel folks the right to add more inner spaces for alignment if they wish... (also, probably needs some minor man page additions) Thanks!
