You're missing TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN on line 39, target_ulong further
down, CPUArchState in cpu_copy() and cpu_abort(), etc.

By placing it in a header that does not have this baggage, some timer
and intc devices in this series were able to drop their dependency on
cpu.h in favor of qom/cpu.h and be built in common-obj-y rather than obj-y.
