I won't nack it, as putting it into the QOM state now is a good idea.
But I would rather put this into PCMachineState, as current_cpu_model
was PC-only and I'd prefer not to encourage more uses of the old API.
Marcel, since this is machine/PC and not core QOM/device, I don't see
accessing the field as a problem. An inline wrapper function would make
sense when many callers need to access it, which I do not envision
beyond this patch.

Andreas
