title: Can we run the linux kernel on specific cores in a Multi-core CPU?
body: <p>I'm making a brainwave detection device. 
  I'll be taking an Octa-Core ARM processor for the software processing.
  For the management of CPU cores, can I code Linux Kernel to strictly run on a specific set of cores? Let's say core 1, 2, and 3. 
  But it should not be too strict as I also need to spawn the device driver on a separate core (let's take core 4). 
  So is it possible to do so?</p>
