Bug Description

ARM Linux devices, regardless of the distro they are running) don't have lspci, and they don't have dmidecode.

Fortunately, modern linux has sysfs. Looking at the OCS code.

 = OcsInventory::Agent::Backend::OS::Linux::Archs needs a new "ARM" module -- this is trivial

  = OcsInventory::Agent::Backend::OS::Linux::Sounds needs to know about sysfs (maybe as a fallback from lspci?). If for example you'd prefer to use the output from `alsa-info --stdout` we could help porting alsa-info to use sysfs where available (it currently also uses lspci :-/ )

 - OcsInventory::Agent::Backend::OS::Linux::Controllers - here too, similar / same info can be read from sysfs.

Also dmidecode usage in varios modules (Ports.pm, Memory.pm, etc).
