No, it makes sense to implement them, but you're understanding of RBIL apparently was wrong -- it isn't talking about switching stacks but about pointing to a different stack frame. The only thing RBIL does here is to point out a fairly obscure implementation detail of these functions in MSDOS. None of the int2f/12 functions switch stacks. They all work on the user stack, and for quite a few this has to be equal to a kernel stack too.
