what will it show in situation when you have more than one cpu? the cpu
information in parentheses seems to be misguiding in that case.
i don't understand why hw.model should contain information about cpu (on
SPARC and UltraSPARC machines). wouldn't it be better to have hw.cpu?
for each processor in the machine instead and let hw.model inform about
_machine_ not cpus (as the name suggests it)?
