IIUC, if we use object_resolve_path_type(path, TYPE_CPU) and path doesn't
point to a CPU object, it will return NULL (see object_resolve_abs_path())
just like if the CPU got hot-unplugged.
My point is that the path we got from object_get_canonical_path() did
point to a CPU: if later on this path resolves to an object that isn't
a CPU, then some code somewhere used the same QOM path for some unrelated
object. I tend to think this is a bug in QEMU and we shouldn't silently
ignore it.
Makes sense ?

This is deliberate... is there a case where cur_mon->mon_cpu_path would
legitimately point to something that isn't of type TYPE_CPU ?
