Hmm, right---qom/cpu.c is indeed common-obj-y, so it has to be a new
file.  cpu-exec.c is taken, so I guess I'll move the memory parts of
exec.c out to exec-memory.c and leave exec.c for the obj-y part of CPU
object handling.  We have:

- cpu-exec.c: TCG only, arch-obj-y

- cpus.c: thread management, obj-y

- exec.c: CPU object management, obj-y

- qom/cpu.c: CPU object management, common-obj-y

And you can move the stuff from cpu-exec.c to exec.c in your patches.

No, I don't, because I'm not going to be the one who merge these
patches.  Sorry.
