Sorry, my mistake: vl.c is not compiled per-target like I thought but
per target_phys_addr_t in libhwX, thus it cannot access cpu.h or
CPUArchState (only CPUState). That means evaluations of fields in
CPUARMState need to be done in target-arm/ and you might want to check
the Notifiers or in the worst case _atexit() to hook some callback
function up. With QOM CPUState there's finalizers in theory but I don't
think they get called yet for anything except linux-user thread exit.
