It's quite a bit better, in that it now gives the correct processorcount
on linux machines.  It still doesn't give a processorcount on kfreebsd
at all.  It seems this is trying to use sysfs as well - that won't work
on kfreebsd.

While processorcount is now correct, it seems that other processor
information is still missing on s390, s390x, ppc, mips and mipsel.  That
just seems to be missing switches in the case statement.

Cheers,
