Due to a commit in kernel (155597223) it's 'processor' rather than 'Processor'. Fix our parser too.
Shouldn't we be parsing this string case-insensitively, to work with kernels that pre-date that kernel commit?
The referenced commit is from 2005. I would not lose sleep over libvirt not working with a ten year old kernel. But the libvirt code using Processor was added by commit 347081e [1] in 2013. Looks like the relevant kernel commit here is b4b8f770e [2] from 2012. After that the model name is printed under 'model name', not 'Processor:', so I'd expect your patch to break the test case added by [1]. Adding a new test case is very welcome.
