Actually this was left out intentionally. The quick fix would be the one 
that Gregory Haskins suggested about not reporting when the task is bound 
to one CPU. This bothers me a little, but is probably OK for now. A task 
can still migrate from one cpu to another by the user, and this can cause 
havic if a smp_processor_id is used.

I needed to examine this a bit closer before coming up with a proper fix.
