[RndTbl] reliable way of counting real CPUs under Linux?

[Grigory Shamov]

Hi Gilbert,

Thanks! 

There is a lot of advice there for sure. For example, The 'ht' flag is
always there on our AMD Opterons (Shaghais and Barcelonas), even they do
not have HT enabled. I'd think that 'ht' it is always there in any
SMP-enabled linux kernel?
