static asmlinkage can make sense if a pointer to the function is taken somewhere in the same translation unit.

I guess that there may be more places where "asmlinkage" is used with
"static" - I assume that they are all incorrect?

Likely they are bogus yes.

One issue is still the changed ABI on i386, so one has to double check
before removing if they have arguments.
