Tracking.
For PJS, we would like to know more about CPU topology than what the current OS APIs offer. Reimplementing CPUID for all our x86 CPUs is really not worth our time, and there is a portable library for this already, hwloc: http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/ I'd like to have the build optionally depend on this library. When built with this library, we will be able to use better CPU topology info.

Would this be something we're able to do with normal Firefox builds?
(In reply to Niko Matsakis [:nmatsakis] from comment #2) > Would this be something we're able to do with normal Firefox builds? I don't see why not, the library purportedly builds on the platforms we care about.
