True. We can't change them before all targets are converted. So far I
have 3/14 and still some review comments to work in.

Another patch in that series uses a macro
s/ENV_GET_OBJECT/ENV_GET_CPU/ to go from CPUState -> CPU while we
convert targets.

Depending on our taste, cpu_single_env might become cpu_single_cpu,
single_cpu or cpu_single.

No, registers are in target-specific ARMCPU, S390CPU, MIPSCPU, etc.
and their CPU*State. It would be possible to have static inline
accessors but so far I've seen no need.

What do you mean by execution context? TLS? The modelling of the state
is pretty orthogonal to how/where we store it.

HTE,
