That's one instance where the Linux interface is odd (it talks about a
pid, but it's actually a thread, and there is no way to set the affinity
mask of a whole process...) and I believe we shouldn't try to support
all the cases. I'd suggest to bind a thread only when pid is 0. If
pid is not zero, that means that either the application is calling the
linux-only gettid() or some other linux-only way to get the tid of a
specific thread, or it assumes that the target is a single-threaded
process and thus providing the pid of that process is enough to change
its cpu affinity. In that case we can use hwloc_set_proc_cpubind like
already done above. Same for getaffinity.
