Actually, that's not true - the 1.5 series technically still supports assignment to physical cpus. However, it is never really tested and very unusual for someone to use, so I suspect it is broken. I very much doubt anyone will fix it.
Also, be aware that physical cpu assignments are not supported in the current developer trunk. This will likely be the case when it is released as the 1.7 series and going forward.
