As you like. The reason why you can ditch them is purely because you know for sure that the only case the firmware will access those shadows from another CPU is that one and it happens to be just right. What are the chances that in the future, FW will do something different and nobody will "fix" the code ? Considering that eieios are fairly cheap and it's not a very hot code path as far as I can tell, I'd rather keep them.
