softmmu/vl.c: Handle '-cpu help' and '-device help' before 'no default machine'
Currently if you try to ask for the list of CPUs for a target architecture which does not specify a default machine type you just get an error: $ qemu-system-arm -cpu help qemu-system-arm: No machine specified, and there is no default Use -machine help to list supported machines Since the list of CPUs doesn't depend on the machine, this is unnecessarily unhelpful. "-device help" has a similar problem. Move the checks for "did the user ask for -cpu help or -device help" up so they precede the select_machine() call which checks that the user specified a valid machine type.
