By my reading that does not give what we want here. In a machine with
eight CPUs and all are down but CPU7, then num_online_cpus() will
return 1.
In the light of the nonlinear/hotplug CPU work in 2.5, I think looping
up to NR_CPUS and checking cpu_online really is the right way to do
it. (But I know much less about it than other people.)
