Harumph, so there is that...

$ while true; do continue; done &
$ PID=$!
$ taskset -pc 0-1 $PID
  pid 849's current affinity list: 0-5
  pid 849's new affinity list: 0,1
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  [12578.545726] CPU1: shutdown
  [12578.548454] psci: CPU1 killed (polled 0 ms)
$ taskset -pc $PID
  pid 849's current affinity list: 0
$ cat /proc/$PID/status | grep Cpus
  Cpus_allowed:   03
  Cpus_allowed_list:      0-1
