So remove the "transfer" related functions.


Do we need to assert somewhere that transfer flags are not set?

This would be an orthogonal change, right? My patch is just removing
never called functions.

In any case I believe checking those flags is the job of the hypervisor.
If an operation is illegal due to a transfer flag being set, it needs to
be rejected at hypervisor level.
