MCSubTargetInfo may want to support uninitialized sched model to handle invoking the disassembler with missing cpu info. I’m copying Quentin to confirm.

In that case it should deal with the uninitialized state internally (it’s really the subtarget itself that is being used without proper initialization). I don’t think MCSchedModel should be impacted. The least confusing way to do this is with a null MCSchedModel pointer and asserts in the right places. If there’s some problem with that, it could just have a flag that says “don’t use the sched model”.

Yeah, to make that work, it looks like all clients would need to get the default sched model from target specific code. But the generic TargetSchedule and InstrItineraryData are instantiating default models.
