I doubt this, since libcpuid.h mentions FreeBSD and Solaris support,
and 'libcpuid/asm-bits.c' uses 'cpuid' whether it is Linux or Windows
or not.

Possibly there's more information available for Linux and Windows
than for the hurd (see e.g. 'libcpuid/rdmsr.c'), but it would seem that
_some_ usable information is available elsewhere.

Also, 'libcpuid/rdmsr.c' uses 'modprobe', does this need to be
absolutised?

Greetings,
Maxime.
