/proc/cpuinfo provides information about type of processor, number of CPU's etc. Reading /proc/cpuinfo file outputs useful information by field name like cpu, platform, model (depending on architecture) and its value separated by colon.
Add new utility function "cpuinfo_field" in "util/header.c" which accepts field name as input string to search in /proc/cpuinfo content. This returns the first matching value as resulting string. Example, calling the function "cpuinfo_field(platform)" in powerpc returns the platform value. This can be used to fetch processor information from "cpuinfo" by other utilities/testcases.
