I don't think we need SET_CPUBIND since (from what I understand) it
would be equivalent to SET_PROC_CPUBIND | SET_THREAD_CPUBIND. We'd have
to keep in mind that 32bits in this flag bitmask is small (we'll likely
need many other flags in the future, for instance IODEVICE_DISCOVERY,
SET/GET_MEMBIND, SET/GET_RANGE_MEMBIND).
