Boy, that's some weird stuff.

What's wrong with doing

			if (isdigit(str[1])) {
				reboot_cpu = str[1] - '0';
				if (isdigit(str[2]))
					reboot_cpu = reboot_cpu * 10 +
							str[2] - '0';
			}

?

But it's still nonsense - we should eliminate its
you-have-less-than-101-CPUs restriction by using, you know, atoi().
