Please Matt add to your next version this check. I dont think I have to
submit a one line patch later...

On x86_64, cpu_number field is already 32bit, we have some time before
it becomes 64bit ;)

We probably should add some extra check to make sure segment doesnt
change (%gs on x86_64, r13 on ppc64) on a future linux version.
