I just found out that SystemProcessorInformation is the same as 
SystemCpuInformation in Wine, both of them are SystemClass 0x01, so that class 
won't be of much help either.
Thats also why i couldn't find anything related to SystemCpuInformation and 
that also means that my first set of patches was definitly the wrong approach.

Since i had some free time today, i have rewritten and submitted the patch not 
using the ntdll interface as i suggested before already. I'll also try to find 
out if there is any usable SystemClass, hopefully there is one.
