Hmm, that is an interesting thought.

Even if we don't actually have optimal routines for big.LITTLE, we still
have to account for the possibility of their existence, hence the need
to peek into all online processors in the hope (because some could be
offline, giving an incorrect view of the system) of guessing the correct
execution environment.
