Removing the definition is not really on - it's there as a fallback and
removing fallbacks is not a good idea unless you can prove beyond doubt
that it'll never be used.

As that depends on the boot loader, it's something that can never be
proven.  So, arrange for it to be initialized at runtime, just like I
will be doing in my revised version I'm working on which I detailed in
a previous email.
