I believe Linux has a sched_setaffinity(2) system call, which sets process's CPU affinity. The attribute is inherited across fork and execve, so what is needed is to start amavisd from a process which sets its CPU affinity first. Alternatively, Perl has a syscall function, which can call any system service, so perhaps it can be coerced to call the sched_setaffinity with correct arguments.
