Basically I want to dedicate a processor on an smp machine to just

Any pointers, reccommendations on how to do this, where to look, or even
how to phrase the dang question for a google search that would return
meaningful and applicable results would be greatly apreciated.

You may be able to pull something like that off (at least the locking a single
process to a CPU) with RML's cpu affinity patch. Same site that the preemptable
kernel is on. Google can't miss it.
