Returning None sounds reasonable to me.
Raising an exception pretty much means that the function should always be called in a try/except (unless you are sure that the code is running on an OS that knows the number of CPUs).  Returning -1 is not very Pythonic, and between 0 and None I prefer the latter, since it's IMHO a clearer indication that the value couldn't be determined.
