From: Pierrick Bouvier <pierrick.bouvier@linaro.org>

When running with a single vcpu, we can return a constant instead of a
load when accessing cpu_index.
A side effect is that all tcg operations using it are optimized, most
notably scoreboard access.
When running a simple loop in user-mode, the speedup is around 20%.
