Unfortunately not. We do want to distinguish cpu-affine for correctness and as an optimization; however, making that distinction is unlikely to make the dynamic worker affinity binding go away. We can't forcifully shut down workers which are executing work items which are affine as an optimization when the CPU goes down.
