For cpu-hotplug it was suggested to use device_add/del

should follow general QOM object creation sequence, i.e.
   - create new cpu instance
   - set properties
   - realize instance
without creating precedent of special case for cpus in device_add/del
if possible. So goal is to have a self-sufficient cpu object that
doesn't require external hooks to create/initialize it. It looks
possible do so for target-i386 at least.

I think your self-sufficient CPU object should probably be a
container QOM object which contains the CPU core itself and
the APIC device. Then the container object's initialisation
can map the APIC device.

For x86 it would be artificial thing without a real hardware to
model after, that would needlessly complicate code and interface.
I'd rather avoid this.

No, letting the CPU map the APIC is really the proper way to deal with
it, specifically once we will support remapping.

Ok, I'll move mapping at cpu level.
