any reason why naked functions are not support for x86 ?
No special reason, no.

Is this something that could easily be moved from target-specific
attributes into more general gcc support? I'm sure the maintainers of
ports like the avr that have a "naked" attribute would be happier if
it were a general feature rather than specific to their port, and I'm
sure that other embedded targets would appreciate it.
However, I have no clue as to whether this is a simple matter of
moving code from a target-specific file to a generic file, or if it
needs a lot more work.

It's not clear (to me) what the original poster was looking for. If he
just wants to eliminate (or minimize) the prologue and epilogue code he
can sometimes get that effect for simple leaf functions by increasing
the optimization to -O3. But I don't know for sure if that is what he
was asking.
