Bug Description

bootchart fails to detect the number of CPUs on ppc and ends up putting 0 in the header:

system.cpu = (0)

Which causes pybootchartgui to fail with a divide by 0. This patch fixes it.

20:13 <infinity> That patch is completely bogus, as it's patching bogus code.
20:14 <infinity> If it's going to fork and call shell utilities anyway, it should just call a
reliable one (nproc(1)) instead of trying to learn how to parse cpuinfo on every
arch.
