Description

The branch reading line 12 of /proc/cpuinfo is valid only for __x86_64__.
So, bugfix is to restrict this branch for __x86_64__ only.
Or, simpler and more generic, use get_ncores().

What is with x86 (-> 32 bit)? And what will happen for non intel/amd platforms like arm? Wouldn't it be a better idea to use nproc instead of parsing some text that is meant to be interpretable by humans only?

Edit: According to some stackoverflow answer, this should be a rather portable solution:
https://github.com/gstrauss/plasma/blob/master/plasma_sysconf.c

Here is the sysconf manpage: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/sysconf.3.html
Here ist a specialized get_nprocs_conf manpage: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/get_nprocs_conf.3.html

which is simpler and more generic.

I agree that get_nprocs() is much simpler and more generic. So, I used it.
