Good point. I'll change to multiple functions and just drop the
strncmps.

I see. I think we need them all, especially as we decide which ones
can be optional, if given others. For example we need cpus and maxcpus
for obvious reasons. threads can be optional (default =1), but if you
want to specify more than 1 then we need the property. Currently I
think both sockets and cores should be required since we don't know
which should be calculated form the other, and therefore can't set
a default for either. That's all five.
