I don't think it would be a good thing since it would require returning
a different data format depending the parameter is specifier or not.

Probably adding another endpoint /eal/lcore/info_all that returns a list
of /eal/lcore/info (one for every lcore) would be better.

If we add /eal/lcore/info_all you would have all this without two
additional endpoints. I don't think that calling it every few
milliseconds and extracting the {busy,total}_cycles values would be
a problem.

I can add another patch in the series but I would prefer not changing
the format at the last minute.

Would that be ok?
