cores, sockets, NUMA nodes, information about CPU caches, CPU family,
model and stepping from sysfs and /proc/cpuinfo, and prints it in
human-readable format. Alternatively, it can print out in parsable
format including how different caches are shared by different CPUs,
which can also be fed to other programs.
