Use 7 cpu numbers not 4 for Hertz Hack
For the small number of devices that we cannot get Hertz out of ELF
notes but the cpu numbers make sense (ie not kFreeBSD) there is a hack
by using the CPU numbers. The problem is there was 4 numbers, now there
are 7. This fixes the hack by adding all 7 to get a more correct number.

Fix Hertz calculation for FreeBSD
FreeBSD has no good way of finding the Hertz value. ELF notes don't

Read the system boot time from /proc instead of computing
Read the time of system boot from /proc/stat (entry: btime) instead
of computing it as the difference between the current time and the
uptime. This is the only way to get a consistent result which won't
possibly change from one run to the next.
The problems with the original code were:
* Both the current time and the uptime are rounded down to the second,
but the system doesn't boot on an integer second value so they do not
tick at the same moment. Thus, the rounding errors can cause a one
second difference from one run to the next.
* We can't read the uptime and the current time at the exact same moment
anyway, so the time difference we compute is bound to be inaccurate.
