I don't think that we should mix the id setting and cpu_index for now.

We can't simply set cpu_index before the device is realized. That logic
belongs to cpu_exec_init(). But I agree that cpu_index and id should always
match after a successful realize.

That id / cpu_index stuff can be cleaned up later. We should not treat cpu_index
as a property for now (by exposing it as "id").
