[Bf-cycles] Would it be possible to implement CPU render for one layer and GPU for other?

[gandalf3]

It sounds like you have already split your scene into separate renderlayers.
Then if I'm not missing something, wouldn't it be possible to use two 
instances of blender; One using CPU rendering to render the smoke layer, 
and one using GPU rendering to render the other layer(s)?

You could even run them simultaneously, but it's not a requirement ;)
