Yes, I answerd so in my previous reply.

Yes. I think I already did this in my v1 patch.


  +		-v cut="$3" \
  +		'{sub(cut,"",$field)}

These lines split the pair into cpu and spl_cpu.
I simply cut down  spl_cpu because it is the same behaviour
as before Commit 27af930e.

Sorry, I cannot understand what you mean.
