Comment (by bgamari):

 > On the other hand, I don't see where we'd use those in the body of
 `p_entry`. And thus why we'd want to pass them in the first place?

 Because this is what the calling convention that the function exposes. If
 the functions in `T6084` didn't have `NOINLINE` pragmas then we would have
 eliminated these dead arguments during core2core. However, since they do
 we are forced to expose precisely the calling convention that the user
 wrote.
