FWIW I think we already can tell if SMT is enabled by doing something
like:
for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/thread_siblings_list;
do
SMT=`cat $i | awk --field-separator "," '{print NF}'`;
if [ $SMT -gt 1 ] ; then
echo ENABLED;
break;
fi;
done
With pretty much the same races as this interface has, no?
In any case, a single value is certainly easier than the above.
