This is fine, in anycase, it's not less robust than what we are currently
doing. (I suppose we really should be checking the result of sysconf)
I changed the description a little bit.
Clark, I pushed the following version to my repo, please pull

Subject: [PATCH] cyclictest: make affinity option only use number of online
cpus
When I boot my 8 core i7 laptop with the maxcpus=4 kernel boot flag,
cyclictest -S runs 8 threads. This patch makes it only use the number
of online cpus instead.
