As indicated elsewhere, this conflicts with my pending CPUState part 10
series, which moves, renames and changes type of cpu_single_env:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/254825/

The latest version received no further feedback after finding a better
name than cpu_single_cpu (current_cpu), first_cpu/next_cpu is ack'ed and
so are the prereqs for current_cpu, so I will pull that in as soon as
potential conflicts with ppc and memory pulls are sorted out, since
pretty invasive and a milestone towards getting rid of CPUArchState.

I'd be happy to help with rebasing this afterwards when needed.

Regards,
Andreas
