No comment on the VS ones, but for the GCC ones, I'm all for it.

We might also want to raise an issue on deleting workarounds put into

For gcc48/49 that was redundant initialization due to broken
use-uninitialized detection.
e.g. https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/Library/X86QemuLoadImageLib/X86QemuLoadImageLib.c#L346
