I'd really go that way! I don't see any reason these can't be shared.

Hmm, if you really want to microoptimize, I guess you'll have to write
a version for each cpu we support and use the usual tricks to test for
the cpu just once, preferably during boot and after that just use the
functions without having to test for the cpu over and over again.
