I use cset shield (cpuset package) in a script to create a set and
migrate everything that's permitted into the system set.

setup:
cset shield --userset=rtcpus --cpu=4-63 --kthread=on
<poke this/that>

teardown:
cset shield --userset=rtcpus --reset
<un-poke this/that>

Non-sexy, but works for simple stuff.
