Thanks, but I'd like to make another couple of suggestions:

Where does 'machine' come from? Shouldn't it be x86_32? 

Also, isn't there a tools version field we could print as well?

> cores                  : 1

I'd like to add a bit more information here, to take of ccNUMA systems
with multicore and hyperthreadsing, e.g. for a system with 2 dual core
hyperthreaded Xeons:

logical_cpus            : 8
hyperthreads_per_core   : 2
cores_per_socket                : 2
sockets_per_node                : 2
nodes                           : 1

This information should reflect the running system, rather than the
capabilities of the hardware. i.e. if someone has booted with 'noht'
then hyperthreads_per_core should be 1 regardless of the hardware. This
will clean up some other code in Xen that uses the flag.

Thanks,
Ian
