The default CPU number should be 0, not 1, because that seems to be a common value for other architectures with only one CPU.

My patch only sets it to -1 to avoid any use of it (it could also be set to any negative value). I'm just preparing a 2nd patch on top of this one which adds ARM support. It should also fix any other architecture which does not use "processor\t:" (there are several of them according to the Linux source code). It takes a while until it is built, because my new Raspberry PI is so terribly slow.
