In the issue referenced below, it is now apparent that
not all architectures follow a logical/expected format
for the /proc/cpuinfo file. Specifically, the expected
empty line after each processor entry might be missing
under some architectures for the last processor shown.
[ and a belated review of kernel source confirms it. ]
So this commit makes our stat module a little bit more
tolerant of some potential missing newline characters.
[ along the way, it's also now tolerant of a missing ]
[ cpuinfo file plus more efficient whenever a cpu is ]
[ is not linked to a core or toggled offline/online. ]
