For pthread_attr_setaffinity_np, I'd rather not since it requires
having allocated state in pthread_attr_t objects, which requires
auditing any place they're copied by value, and other headaches. The
same thing can be achieved by pthread_setattr_np after the thread
starts, so putting the affinity in the attr object just seems
gratuitously hideous.
I have no fundamental objection to sched_getcpu.
