Personally, I'd say that your warn and panic levels should be set to let
you know when something abnormal is happening, rather than trying to
calculate based on cores.  When you have a couple of weeks of cpu load data
in the graphs, you should be able to see the load average your server
normally runs at.  Set the warning level a bit above that so you get a
warning if some process starts hammering the cpu.  That'll tell you
something unexpected is starting.  Set the panic level somewhat higher.
