It was part of commit cf2affa6de. And was a result of moving to
snprintf() instead of direct string manipulation. Before that
string was created like that:
memcpy((char *)start, "CPU " "\0" "" "\0" "", 7);
((char *)start)[4] = cpu_number + '0';
Which start to produce strange cpu numbers for cpus greater then 9. I
doubt we want to go back to that ;)
