yet at the same time they bloat the kernel for everyone NOW.
If a driver magically appears that wants to use them, it's trivial to
put these in, but I see absolutely no excuse for having them in all

for no good reason. There's dozens of such functions all over the
kernel, and they take up unswappable memory all over.
