Part of me says this should be split so that it can be partially
reverted whenever we grow users for these, but I doubt that the
implementer of that will notice nor that anyone will remember you
removed them. Certainly wouldn't object if there was a split though.
I guess in general this was a case of copy-pasting stuff from arm64
that we did not yet have users for.
