I wouldn't extend cpuacct, I'd like to look into using the rstat
mechanism for per-CPU runtime collection. (Most certainly I won't get
down to this until mid December though.)

My idea was to decouple time from the locality counters completely. It'd
be up to the monitoring application to normalize differences wrt
sampling rate (and handle wrap arounds).
