Pretty sure that Rob commented last time that there's no definition
anywhere here of CBR, but I don't see either a response to him or an
explanation in v3 as to what CBR means.

Why is a ?linux? function name in the binding? Surely this is just
"or in SMP systems where reading CBR returns 0 from...", no? Ditto
above.
