If your worries are that modifying /proc/xenomai/affinity would force
running tasks to new CPUs: no, there is no such side effect. The
affinity mask only "burns" the CPU affinity into the task structure when
they are created. Later states of that mask do not impact existing tasks.

Feel free to define the precise semantic of this feature e.g. in the
wiki :). In the end, expectations and associations always change the
meaning of terms in the eye of the user.
