Any reason we're so incredibly inconsistent in what we do during realize

Alpha is the main blocker for unifying CPU reset iirc. It does not
implement reset at all and thus is not calling it. The struct was not
designed for zero'ing things, so there's a mix of data fields and
pointers without clear separation to allow memset(), and I have neither
a working alpha test image nor the time to investigate this at the moment.

WIP here:
https://github.com/afaerber/qemu-cpu/commits/qom-cpu-alpha
https://github.com/afaerber/qemu-cpu/commits/qom-cpu-reset

According to my commit unicore32 is another odd sock that doesn't reset
the CPU - despite implemented iirc.

So if we had reset, we could call

  qemu_init_vcpu();
  cpu_reset()

inside parent_realize(), right?

Then let's prepare for that step and make at least all targets that do call cpu_reset call it after init_vcpu().
