What about adding a dummy CPU (which can be removed later)?

I also got a warning here when I used cgcc / smatch recently, but did
not send a patch because there are too many possible fixes and none of
them seemed to be elegant :-)

Nevertheless, here is one of them:

Of course, any other fix is also okay.

Cheers and Merry Christmas
