On all other platforms, runtime calls are generated directly during parsing, which prevent any constant folding or other idealizations. Even C1 can perform these optimizations, resulting in significantly lower C2 performance compared to C1 for simple test cases. This function was observed to be around 15x slower with C2 compared to C1 due to redundant runtime calls:

>> To fix this, this PR turns ModFNode and ModDNode into macros, which are always created during parsing. They support idealization (constant folding) and are lowered to runtime calls during macro expansion. For simplicity, these operations will now also call into the runtime on x86_32, as this platform is deprecated.

Looks good! Not sure if copyright year should be updated to 2025 though.
