This would be called task processor affinity and it is not currently
supported. It was left as a future enhancement.

The current smptests were not designed to show off smp but to
debug it and to get coverage.

The magic of assigning a task to a core is in the scheduler. It is
in cpukit/score/src/schedulersimplesmp*. It is logically intended to
be the same as the single core scheduler but place the top N
tasks onto the N cores. It takes into account priority, preemption,
FIFO per priority, and timeslicing just like the single core priority
scheduler does.
