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...
