Like many other utils we have a way how to specify output columns
lscpu --extended[=<list>]
lscpu --parse[=<list>]
The man page:
-p, --parse[=list]
If the list argument is omitted, the command output is compatible
with earlier versions of lscpu.
it means that HvVendor,VirtType have to be omitted from -p by default.
Frankly, I don't see any practical reason to have hypervisor info in -p
and -e at all. These output formats are about CPU topology and per-CPU
specific information. The global stuff makes more sense for the default
(without options) output where you can use
lscpu | awk '/Hypervisor type/ { print $2 }'
or so...
