At the least, we need documentation that tells the user what name
systemd uses, based on the name(s) that the user is likely to know the
product by (which may not be the current name of the product).

This would work reasonably well:

       The following technologies are currently identified: qemu, kvm,
       vmware, microsoft (a/k/a Hyper-V, Viridian, Windows Server
       Virtualization), oracle (a/k/a VirtualBox), xen, bochs, chroot,
       openvz, lxc, lxc-libvirt, systemd-nspawn.
