It's a tiny chunk of platform helper code. It probably ultimately
belongs in arch/x86 somewhere or folded into the driver. At the moment
it won't build modular.

I'm fine with the change, it strips out more pointless code so helps
see what tiny bits of code in there are actually used for anything
real.
