They're not duplicate, they're shortcuts.  Using longer function names
with more arguments is unnecessary if there's no need for the extra

I'll take care of changing the wrappers to take a CPUState instead of
AddressSpace, and move them to cpu.h.

If you convert ARM to address_space_*, ARM's cpu.h obviously won't get them.
