So, should I just remove them altogether?

OK, thank you for explanation.
But this call returns back into ResetLib implementation as it should, and
then there is a direct jump to the start of FV.
Am I doing anything wrong here?
Then, up to the point of enabling of MMU the stack is OK. But right after
enabling MMU it points at _ModuleEntryPoint end of function in
DxeCoreEntryPoint.c
Am I missing anything? Maybe some stack cleanup before jumping to the start
of FV?
