We do reset the CPU, the linux-user code calls
cpu_reset() after creating it (and this is required for
correct behaviour). What we don't need (and what this patch
is making system-only) is the "register a global reset
function" API (which is non-functional in user-mode binaries
because nothing ever calls the qemu_devices_reset() function
to say "run all the hooks", so it makes sense not to compile
it in).
