Oh, sure it's easily extensible, the question is if the first attribute
you now add will be at the right place. That is: is all information
about the 1st level hypervisor supposed to be found in /sys/hypervisor
or should it be in a subdirectory? E.g. /sys/hypervisor/level1 or
something like that.
But adding your attribute won't hurt. The worst case is that it gets
duplicated.
