The logic, to check if the specified CPU type is supported in
machine_run_board_init(), is independent enough. Factor it out into
helper is_cpu_type_supported(). machine_run_board_init() looks a bit
clean with this. Since we're here, @machine_class is renamed to @mc
to avoid multiple line spanning of code. The comments are tweaked a
bit either.

No functional change intended.

This hint could be clearer if only an unique CPU is allowed.
