Yes, overhead can be a significant issue with this type of interface. 
But we already incurred a massive overhead by using a human-readable
ascii interface.  If performance is an issue, perhaps the whole thing
should be grafted onto taskstats instead.  Or create a new
taskstats-like thing.

btw, a more typical interface would be

cat /.../cpu0
nice:nn
system:nn
irq:nn

- the traditional one-per-line name:value tuples.  But I'd assumed that
having a file per CPU would be aawkward.
