Yes!

Yeah, I'll split it out. There are multiple places where we iterate over the
drc_indexes, and it is implemented several different ways. I basically picked an
implementation to use across the board. I think a better way would be just to
implement a for_each_drc_index(dn, drc_index) macro to abstract away iterator
implementation.

You are right. The code is picking every non-present drc_index which will
overflow the supplied buffer as you stated when there are more available indexes
than requested cpus. Will fix to bound the search.

I'm not sure I follow?

Again, wanted to use a single implementation everywere. Obviously, as pointed
out in the previous comment missed a byte swap. Will split out into a separate
patch for consideration.
