What code wants to use these functions? It'd be best to submit this
patch with that code, so that something actually uses the functions, and
they don't look like dead code.

In the past, functions similar to this used to exist. However, they were
removed and replaced by direct access to the underlying variables. Do we
actually need functions for this, or can code simply read from the
variables instead?
