Well, no, technically it's an API change :-) but given that winterz has 
stated that kdefx is exempt, and given his other statements on what 
"freeze" means (which are very reasonable given that this is a .0 
release) I think this change is OK.

Well it's possibly ugly and not a patch, but see kdefx/kcpuinfo.cpp :-). 
in fact, if you can give me a go/no-go on porting that, and tell me 
where to (I assume solid/processor.*?), I can probably see about making 
a proper patch.
