Subject: Is there a way to offload everything from cpu0 to other cpus?

Hi, I would like to know whether it is possible to offload everything (kernel threads/user apps) to cpu1...x so that I can force cpu0 go into idle?

I can affinity all the interrupt to a different cpu by playing with the /proc/irq/irqx/smp_affinity, how about everything else?
