And while I am here: definition for PCPU_NAME_LEN seems to be wrong.
It is intended to fit ("CPU %d", cpuid) where cpuid <= MAXCPU.  If this
is correct, then (sys/sys/pcpu.h, line 57)

 1. sizeof(__XSTRING(MAXCPU) + 1) is a typo: typeof(__XSTRING(...) + 1)
    is 'char *', so sizeof() will return the size of the pointer, not
    the size of the string contents.  The proper expression should be
    'sizeof(__XSTRING(MAXCPU)) + 1'.

 2. one should not add one, but substract it: sizeof() accounts for the
    trailing '\0' and we have two sizeof's, so the size of one '\0'
    should be substracted -- this will give the maximal string buffer
    length for CPU with its number, no less, no more.

Does the attached patch looks sane?
