yes it exits, it's called the 'pset patch'. Nevertheless it's very
unlikely a normal system needs this functionality, if the kernel doesnt
get scheduling right then we want to know about it and fix it. The pset
patch is handy for eg. SMP realtime applications where some CPU is
dedicated to a RT process. But i think it's safe to say that in any other
case explicit scheduling-control is a loss.
