I'll phrase it like " We'll wire this up next to make it work."

I'm adding

"Note that the CPU affinity of previously created threads will not get 
adjusted."

and

"In general, the interface behaves like pthread_setaffinity_np(): host 
CPU numbers that are currently not available are ignored; only host CPU 
numbers that are impossible with the current kernel will fail. If the 
list of host CPU numbers does not include a single CPU that is 
available, setting the CPU affinity will fail."
