Description of the change

+ * Count the number of CPUs and divide buffer_size_kb by the number of CPUs.
+ Users should watch for instances of "mmiotrace has lost events" in dmesg to make
+ sure the trace buffers are not too small. The original value for
+ buffer_size_kb was chosen somewhat arbitrarily. Empirical testing
+ has shown that its large enough, so we don't actually know where the lower
+ boundary lies.
+ -LP: #491943

Count the number of CPUs

Count the number of CPUs and divide buffer_size_kb by the number of CPUs.
Users should watch for instances of "mmiotrace has lost events" in dmesg to make
sure the trace buffers are not too small. The original value for
buffer_size_kb was chosen somewhat arbitrarily. Empirical testing
has shown that its large enough, so we don't actually know where the lower
boundary lies.
