Check out the TMP_AFFINITY(2) system call.  You must be the superuser for this
this call to work, and it only affects the current process, but is inherited
across fork and exec calls.  I've never actually used it, but I think it
restricts your process to being scheduled on a particular processor, but
doesn't prevent that processor from running other processes.
