Have you considered using/creating a semantic patch to change these? I bet 
there are other semantically well-defined cases where you can get rid of 
text if you are really aiming for reduced size.

I'd love to see that kind of text reducing spatch maintained for people who 
really aiming for small size, and with it probably we can get rid of most 
of the existing NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL cases as well.
