No. Get rid of them.

If any of those checks/debug is worth having in the API it's worth
having it for all archs.

At -worst-, Thomas and Peter may be ok with having inline wrappers for
the argument style conversion in x86 lmb.h but I somewhat doubt it.

In the form of non-inline exported functions with such confusing naming
and semantics (and total lack of documentation or explanation), this is
just wrong.

Cheers,
Ben.
