Also keep in mind linux-user. There's no concept of a machine there, but there's a cpu_copy() function used for forking that tries to re-create the CPU based on its model.
Incidentally, do you know why the linux-user code calls cpu_reset on the newly copied CPU state but only for TARGET_I386/SPARC/PPC ? That looks very odd to me...
Incidentally for i386 I do: cpu_reset() is intentionally not part of cpu_init() there because afterwards the machine or something sets whether this CPU is a "bsp" (Board Support Package? ;)) and only then resets it.
For ppc and sparc I don't know but I'd be surprised if it's necessary for ppc... Alex?
Phew - no idea. Does git blame know more there? :) Alex
