 it's what should be done after reading several of the specs because the

 logical_cpus (it's an absolute quantity). I need to verify it with a multi-cpu 
 topology at work (the two r710s I was testing with E-series Xeons on aren't 
 available remotely right now).

 are in a better position to review the patch in the PR.
