Yup. If /proc/pid/loadlevel is zero a process will not be moved from
one node to another by the loadlevel logic.
If /proc/pid/pin is zero you can still migrate the process by hand (by
writing a node number to /proc/pid/goto).
(As you say, the normal way of setting /proc/pid/loadlevel is to run
/bin/bash-ll, or any other program mentioned in
/proc/cluster/loadlevellist).
