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

[Gottfried Hofmann]

Hello,

make two scenes, one with all layers except smoke on and use GPU and one 
scene where you have only smoke layer active. Combine both scenes in 
comp (you don't need to save any images for that).

Cheers,
Gottfried
