The thing that I would be led to wonder is if using /proc/cpuinfo is an
x86 thing or if that's portable for Linux across all the platforms the
kernel can be built on.  Does S/390 support providing that info?  PPC? 
zSeries?

I don't know the answer to that - but I'd suspect if it's not portable
across platforms, that might be the reason why.
