I think reimplementing these locally in you drivers is the preferred
way. It's not so much a lack of users (there were 5 or so in total when
I made the change to remove these helpers), but rather the general
approach that was being criticized by other driver maintainers. I'm not
aware of any of their opinions having changed on this subject, so I'd
recommend going down the path of least resistance.
