Heh... I didn't know about phase_check() but it could make sense
to prevent early misuse of qdev_get_machine() indeed.

Or maybe leave everything in the instance init function but rely
on current_machine instead of qdev_get_machine(), i.e. something
like:

static void cpu_core_instance_init(Object *obj)
{
    MachineState *ms = current_machine;
    CPUCore *core = CPU_CORE(obj);

    /*
     * This can be called with "-device some_cpu_core,help" before the
     * machine has been created.
     */
    if (!ms) {
        core->nr_threads = 1;
        return;
    }

    core->nr_threads = ms->smp.threads;
}
