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.

No idea what is or is not in the code in this regard, but as a purely conceptual thought, why couldn't the host elect to put a small amount of info, whatever the admin wishes, into the fake nvram presented to the vm for it's bios?
