On POWER systems, /proc/cpuinfo provides a 'processor' entry as a
counter, and a 'cpu' entry with a description (similar to 'model name'
on x86). Support for POWER in get_cpu_facts was added via the 'cpu'
entry in commit 8746e692c1. Subsequent
support for ARM64 in commit ce4ada93f9
used the 'processor' entry, resulting in double-counting of cores on
POWER systems.
When unit tests were later written for this code in
commit 55306906cf, the erroneous values
were just accepted in the test instead of being diagnosed.
