Why can't we just test the spe_program_handle_t* for uniqueness?  Then 
we can decentralize the selection of the right spe_program_handle_t* to 
the PPU bridge functions, and task_manager will just have to remember 
the last task loaded to avoid the extra reload.

FWIW, that seems to work OK in our skunkworks ALF replacement.
