Adrian,
If you feel the need to remove some more code: Now that gcc 2.95 isn't supported anymore there isn't really a need to keep the handwritten inline string functions in asm-i386/string.h around. Just declaring them as normal externs will cause gcc to use its builtin expansions, which are typically better than these old inline functions with inline assembly.
For out of line the C versions in lib/string.c can be used (by not setting __ARCH_*) x86-64 did it like this forever and I guess it would be valuable cleanup for i386 too.
