It's not that anyone hates them, it's that
pass 1: the semantics (0 == empty cpu set) needed preserving
pass 2: remove code instead of changing redundant stuff
NFI YTF gcc doesn't optimize out the whole shebang.
At any rate, if we're pounding APM BIOS calls or apm_power_off()

than 64B of code gcc couldn't optimize (it's probably due to some
jump target being aligned to death or some such nonsense).
