The whole point of my refactorings is to drop the CPUArchState define
completely. Generic code should use CPUState instead, and CPU*State
becomes an implementation detail of the specific target. Therefore
ENV_GET_CPU() will no longer be needed either at some point, so I don't
want to introduce usages now just to save a few characters and later
have to convert them back in one big go.
