Ported to 2.6.27 to ease testing, and fixed up the formatting a bit.
I remember quickly scanning through one-line-per-CPU data to find
problems with rcutree.c, but the expanded names are quite nice -- I
had to brutally abbreviate to fit each CPU on a single line.
And I agree that seqfile does work nicely for this.

I am strongly tempted to suggest CSV format output with headers to
allow the data to be pulled into gnumeric or oocalc -- this would
make handling large numbers of CPUs much easier. (Quickly donning
the asbestos suit with titanium pinstripes...)

Thanx, Paul
