That was my gut feeling as well, however..

... this is very annoying. Because function is now a bit dodgy, no? 
Maybe gets the caller a real answer for a _specific_ gt, or maybe gets a 
fake-ish answer for a root gt. Or if not a root gt and called too early 
maybe it returns a false zero?

Hm would GEM_BUG_ON(!mask && !gt_is_root(gt)) be correct?

And not even bother to implement is as fallback?

if (gt_is_root)
	return platform_mask;
else
	return gt_mask;

Would that be clearer? Coupled with the comment from the patch, maybe 
expanded with the statement that if there are some vcs engines, at least 
one must remain post fusing?
