NR_CPUS is not tooooo bad an approximation. After all, the output size is
approximately proportional to the number of CPUs.

Multiplied by the number of interrupts :(

           CPU0 CPU1
  0: 11982656 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
  1: 26 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042
  2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade

We could perhaps just convert it to num_online_cpus() and run away. Depends
how heoric you're feeling.
