You can bind a thread to one processor, in the kernel, but I don't know
offhand if there is a user interface for it however.. (I'd have to go
look at the code again). (goes to look)

There is code that can bind a thread to the current processor that it is on,
but nothing uses it that I can see.. If you wrote a kernel module you could 
write your own syscall to use it..


This is of course different from binding a thread to a processor
EXCLUSIVELY so that no other thread can use it.
