+ToDos sorted by priority:
+
+- Use bitmask functions to parse CPU topology more robust
+ (current implementation has issues on AMD)
+- Try to read out boost states and frequencies on Intel
+- Somewhere saw the ability to read power consumption of
+ RAM from HW on Intel SandyBridge -> another monitor?
+- Add another c1e debug idle monitor
+ -> Is by design racy with BIOS, but could be added
+ with a --force option and some "be careful" messages
+- Add cpu_start()/cpu_stop() callbacks for monitor
+ -> This is to move the per_cpu logic from inside the
+ monitor to outside it. This can be given higher
+ priority in fork_it.
+- Fork as many processes as there are CPUs in case the
+ per_cpu_schedule flag is set.
+ -> Bind forked process to each cpu.
+ -> Execute start measures via the forked processes on
+ each cpu.
+ -> Run test executable in a forked process.
+ -> Execute stop measures via the forked processes on
+ each cpu.
+ This would be ideal as it will not introduce noise in the
+ tested executable.
