For Shared Processor LPARs, the POWER Hypervisor maintains a relatively
static mapping of the LPAR processors (vcpus) to physical processor

The first number corresponds to:

1. total vcpu dispatches since the beginning of statistics collection
The next 4 numbers represent vcpu dispatch dispersions:

2. number of times this vcpu was dispatched on the same processor as last
time
3. number of times this vcpu was dispatched on a different processor core
