I don't think this would be a good feature for top. On a SMP Linux machine
processes may float from one processor to another though for better
performance the scheduler attempts to do this as few as possible.

Such a feature will later on when the scheduler has more special SMP
support like reserving CPUs for certain priviledged processes.
