Things that can be done in the future to further separate backend specific or generic code from other packages...

 TODO: all this come from version_utils.pm, does it make sense to move them to Utils::Backends                                                                                                                                               
   # is_hyperv                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
   # is_hyperv_in_gui                                                                                                                                                                                                              
   # is_aarch64_uefi_boot_hdd                                                                                                                                                                                                      
   # is_svirt_except_s390x  

Checks for specific architectures can also be moved to a different package (Utils::Architectures) and opensusebasetest inheriting from it, to avoid excess of imports...

• Grep for check_var('ARCH' (might use single or double quotes) and move these to an architecture specific utils package
• grep for 'check_var("BACKEND", (might use single or double quotes) and move these to Utils::Backends or a possibly different package to ensure that we can differentiate from utilities that help with the backend, vs utilities that add more functionality to the backend independant code (like is_remote_backend)
