So it seems that the process is capable of setting a high enough priority
such that an (hardware) interupt wont run on a specific CPU?
My goal might be slightly different than this. I would like to route
interupts to CPUs which have the "least load of interupts" in addition
to process load.
do you have a paper on this, maybe you can already do this?
