One obvious improvement would be to not do this twice, but only have to
loop once. Instead of making this an array, make it a structure with a
read and write count.
It still doesn't really fix the issue of someone running on a kernel
with a ton of possible CPUs configured. But it does reduce the overhead
by 50%.
