Monitoring the management behavior of the cpuplugd

To monitor the management decisions of the cpuplugd daemon, it is started with the option -V and -f to generate a log file.

For example:
cpuplugd -c <config file> -f -V>&<logname> &

The messages in the log file are then parsed for the timestamp, the value for onumcpus, and the amount of pages in the statement changing number of pages permanently reserved to nnnnn. These numbers are used to determine the real system size.
