This we can do easily and the choice of the existing code is pure
personal preference. I generally prefer inline calls to trivial
getters for a low number of call sites as I think code is slightly
easier to read when you don't have to do a local variable lookup on
where all the function args are coming from.

So the multiple decl of env is now needed to avoid an unused variable
werror for non-x86-non-PPC builds when considering the change in P2.
Not strictly needed until P2, but doing it this way straight up
slightly minimises churn. The ENV_GET_CPU removal and the change in P2
remove the only two unconditional uses of env forcing this variable to
go local to its #ifdef usages. It also has the advantage that only
those two arches use the env at all. Envlessness is a good thing for
common code so prefer to leave the multi-defs in target specific code
with a plan to get rid of them one by one with X86/PPC specific
patches that operate solely on their respective #ifdef sections.
FWIW, the follow up to this series adds the infrastructure needed for
getting rid of these #ifdef sections (once I muster the courage to
patch X86 and PPC):

Let me know if you need respin for the first change. I can turn it
around quickly, i'd really like to get this one through as its
blocking a lot of the multi-arch work!
