I think it's probably not the best idea to skip CPU initialization here.
I'd rather raise an error in such case. If we supplied non-NULL init
argument then we need VCPU been initialized, don't we? If we pass NULL
as init then we actually skip this code.

Kind regards,
Sergey

Though current we will never go into this else... I agree that we
should raise error if stepped into it.

Will fix. Thanks!
