Right so I suppose the easiest solution would be to do the opposite of
my first suggestion. That is, make em_get_pd() call em_cpu_get() if the
device is a CPU device, or proceed to the PD list iteration for other
devices. And em_cpu_get() can remain as you originally suggested (that
is, iterate over the PDs and test the mask).

That should ensure em_get_pd() always works, em_cpu_get() is still there
handy for the scheduler and such, and the two EM lookup functions (for
CPUs or for devices) are kept cleanly separated.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,
Quentin
