Yes, the x86 implementation can also remove these functions and use the same
approach as arm64, RISC-V, and LoongArch. However since this change would not
reduce the vmcore size on x86 at all, I did not include it in the current series.

I plan to refactor this part on x86 after this series.

Best regards,
Wandun
