Maybe, although it's not a hot path. But we should make sure the
num_present_cpus() cannot change. Could it be e.g. low (1) very early when
we bootstrap the initial caches, but then update and at least most of the
caches then reflect the real number of cpus? With a static we would create
everything with 1.
