When prototyping a heterogenous machine including the ITU,
we get:
include/hw/misc/mips_itu.h:76:5: error: unknown type name 'MIPSCPU'
MIPSCPU *cpu0;
^
MIPSCPU is declared in the target specific "cpu.h" header,
but we don't want to include it, because "cpu.h" is target
specific and its inclusion taints all files including
"mips_itu.h", which become target specific too. We can
however use the 'ArchCPU *' type in the public header.
By keeping the TYPE_MIPS_CPU QOM type check in the link
property declaration, QOM core code will still check the
property is a correct MIPS CPU.
TYPE_MIPS_ITU is still built per-(MIPS)target, but its header
can now be included by other targets.
