Hi Paolo, thanks for reviewing.

I spent some time trying to reduce it. I may be wrong, but this is the 
smallest patch I can get to get all targets (linuxuser vs softmmu, kvm 
enable/disable) build.

I guess this is my personal preference.

My original idea is to emphasize that this *whole* file is 
"target-specific", as "target-independent" vs "target-specific" is 
important for qemu framework (everything except target-xxx, tcg backend 
and hw/arch*/). Ideally all qemu framework is designed to be 
target-independent, right?

In my docs/api-hierarchy.txt, I am trying my best to illustrate what are 
"target-independent", and what are "target-specific".

cpu-defs.h is NOT included in this file.

The idea is the same for the rest "#ifndef NEED_CPU_H"

     Why use "#ifndef NEED_CPU_H, then #error ...", is because 
"target-xxx/cpu.h"
     is better included for the whole file.

     If "target-xxx/cpu.h" is only needed for part of the file, use
     "#ifdef NEED_CPU_H, then #include "cpu.h"".


Thanks.
