Previously CPUs were exposed in the QOM tree at a path
/machine/unattached/device[nn]
where the 'nn' of the first CPU is usually zero, but can vary depending on what devices were already created.
With this change the CPUs are now at
/machine/cpu[nn]
where the 'nn' of the first CPU is always zero.
Could you add to commit message the reason behind the change?
Note: This (intentionally) breaks compatibility with current libvirt code that looks for "/machine/unattached/device[0]" in the assumption it is the first CPU. Why libvirt does this in the first place?

that will take in account only initial cpus, -device/device_add cpus will still go to wherever device_add attaches them (see qdev_set_id)
