So two questions:
1.  Is it possible to add a scheduler hack to only allow threaded
apps to use one CPU?  E.g. anything doing SA will be forced to cpu0, while
regular processes can use any.

2.  Can we disable the internal pthreads lib and use pth from pkgsrc on
an MP system?  That way at least the box will not wedge and people can
use the MP support.
