Updated and hopefully simplified the get_cpu<data>. We no longer care what the numbers are, all we do is count unique ids. Now we ignore the id identifier number, since the new i series from Intel either kills a logical processor or ships flawed quad cores as dual or dual HT, maybe even tri-core sometime. The new logic only cares about the number of cores, the number of physical processors, and the number of virtual processors.
