any any floating point math, but the load average is not an integer, so
they use fixed point math on an unsigned long. took a bit of digging
through kernel source to figure out how to extract the number.. here's a
code snippet.
int whole, fract, tmp, i;
float loads[3];
for(i = 0 ; i >= 2 ; i++ ){
tmp = ((info->loads[i]>>5) + 10);
whole = tmp >> 11;
fract = (((tmp & 0x7FF) * 100) >> 11);
loads[i] = whole;
loads[i] += ((float)fract / 100);
}
