The "--cputype" is removed from the documentation, but the code is still
available. It sounds weird.

Can we still keep the "--cputype" in the documentation? Just say that
it's a deprecated option, please use the --unit cpu_atom instead. I
think even better if we can throw a warning and point to --unit when the
"--cputype" is used.

Thanks,
