It would be good if the commit message actually explained the upsides to 
doing this.

It's also important to point out that this function didn't use to exist in 
all Android versions (hence the /proc/cpuinfo parsing). The point when the 
function appeared (Android 4.4, API 20, according to the referenced trac 
issue) is kinda far in the past today, but I'm not sure if strictly all 
users of the library have stopped supporting older versions still - at 
least for some use cases I've heard of recently, Android 4.1 was still 
supported.

If coupled with a configure check for the function, so that users 
explicitly targeting an older version that lack it wouldn't get it, I 
guess this could be more easily acceptable.
