Correct.

Currently there is no pre-built API to give you per-CPU work queues.  However,
you could create a taskqueue for each CPU (and schedule an initial task that
calls sched_bind() to bind the associated thread to a specific CPU) and then 
you could schedule a task for a specific CPU by scheduling it on the taskqueue 
for a specific CPU.
