Don't forget to check these patches for execution -> test run. Also, while we're at it, let's add a dot to the end of this sentence.

I see you actually did what I was thinking of. This should be in 2/6.

I'm not a big fan of two different implementation of what should be common logic. Can we pass skip_first_core to LogicalCoreFilter.__init__() and remove the first core from self._lcores_to_filter if True (it would default to False)? skip_first core would be determined in SutNode.__init__() and then passed downstream.
