[1] [2] So I'd like a few extra words on the intersection with that work. Yes, that also needs a CPU number, but that needs a little extra as well. Can this work be extended to provide the little extra and is the getcpu name still sane in that case? Alternatively, could you not, at equal speed, get the CPU number from the restartable sequence data? That is, do explain why we want both.
