    We have been slowly moving various statistics from globals to
    per-cpu.  The scheduling stats would be very easy to do but
    they have not yet been moved.
    Would someone like a go at doing the scheduling stats?  Basically
    it means:
    (1) moving the struct cp_time in kern/kern_clock.c into the
        globaldata structure.
    (2) changing the code that updates it in kern/kern_clock.c to update 
	the per-cpu version instead.

    (3) Changing the sysctl to return the cp_time for all cpus in an array.

    (4) Changing libkinfo and libkcore to retrieve and aggregate the
	cp_time info from all the cpus (and to also give an API to allow
	the info from a single cpu to be extracted).
