Having a single place where all compiler intrinsics are located should
simplify this kind of changes.

Yes, sure.  Both are valid points.

I see this series as first step, consolidating the existing code in a
singe place with (almost) no actual code changes.  There surely will be
incremental improvements and cleanups later on.  I will need a few more
intrinsic functions when moving edk2 to openssl 3.0 for example.

take care,
  Gerd
