This means we are doing population counts of two masks, when we really

Yep that's sensible.

This shows how close these two functions are.  The difference is
what happens when cpus_empty is true -- we default in one and
ignore in the other.

How about adding another arg to get_server, that says to fail
or default for the empty case, with failure being -1?

I modified the patch based on suggestions given by Milton and Mike.
Milton is this patch okay?

Well, its part of the way there.

Don't test cpus_empty twice, instead do a nested if.

Actually, looking at this a bit, you need your default_distrib or
default_server check again.

How about reorder to be if (!cpus_equal(...ALL)) {
    cpus_and
    if !cpus_empty(tmp
        return get_hard(first);
    if (strict)
        return -1;
}

if (cpus_equal(online, preseent)
return distrib
return default_server

For that matter, can we just call first_cpu, and check its <= NUM_CPUS
elminating the call to cpus_empty ?   Only call get_hard_cpu if its
valid.

this was supposed to be the call with strict = 1
