These thunks can be accessed using `__impchk_*` symbols, though they are typically not called directly. Instead, they are used to populate the auxiliary IAT. When the imported function is x86_64 (or an ARM64EC function with a patched export thunk), the thunk is used to call it. Otherwise, the OS may replace the thunk at runtime with a direct pointer to the ARM64EC function to avoid the overhead.
