Responding to Nilay's comments over email:

I think it would be best if you explained the initial bug that led to this 
patch.  Going forward, the tester will need to work with protocols that do not 
expect simply a number of CPUs.  There will be controllers that only generate 
instruction fetches, and other controllers that support shared i-caches and 
separate d-caches.  In these protocols, understanding the number of CPUs is not 
good enough.  The tester will need to be more flexible handling ports.
