A very useful utility indeed, thank you! Still I wonder if for the sake of simplicity
it is possible to show and present virtual CPU pairs to the user in natural order,
(0,1 2,3 4,5 6,7) not how it's currently done (0,4 1,5 2,6 3,7). I cannot believe
it's difficult to change the userspace representation of virtual CPU pairs.
