determine cpu count from module.ko

From: Eric <Scorpus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In a kernel module, how does one determine the number of cpu's and if there is
hyperthreading going on. I'm only looking at intel stuff at the moment. I'd
like to be able to count cores, sockets and hyperthreads. Also, I'm using
2.6.18 kernel.
Thanks
Eric
