On F16 and F17 I am seeing lots of apps requiring access to /sys/devices/system/cpu/online

Drilling down a bit more, it's opened from __get_nprocs, which is called 
by (among much else) the malloc arena setup code.  So that's going to be 
pretty much every application.

The implementation of __get_nprocs hints that there might be a syscall 
for finding the number of online CPUs in the future.
