Why it would require changes in linux-user? So far x86_cpu_realize() does
nothing useful in linux-user,  compiled and tested. It should be harmless
for linux-user not to execute it.
But I haven't compiled/tested bsd-user, do I need BSD for this?

I'm in process of untangling this header mayhem (at least to a point
that allows compilation complete when CPU is derived from Device)
