It looks like you picked the version from the ia64 tree - but it would have
been better to pick Al's version. He wastes less space on the stack by only
declaring cpustr[3+4+1] instead of cpustr[32], but more importantly he
checks the return value from proc_mkdir().

I'll drop 40c275bd92b8 out of my tree so Al's can go in without a conflict.
