The function is always defined. We can probalby lose ifdef here?

Also, does it really have to be called from head_32.S? No way this
can be done after entering C code? It would be great if you can
explain overall design choices in the head message (and important
patches).

And add a comment here why we're not doing static inline for the dummy
function?

Thanks.
