I can see that such system property as "sun.cpu.isalist" is not set on
Linux, but it is set on Solaris and Windows.
What is the purpose of this property and shouldn't it be set on Linux
as well?
I don't see the property actually being used anywhere these days. No
idea what it may have been used for other than printing the property for
information (there's a Java2D demo that does that).
Is there an API on Linux that will provide the information? Both Solaris
and Windows have a "sys info" call that can provide this information.
But Linux sysinfo is something different.
/proc/cpuinfo has a flags field, maybe that's similar enough?
