Okay, what exactly means "most of them"?

All JIT, JUMP, IMT/VTable and Delegate trampolines ultimately
end up in "mono_magic_trampoline()", don't they?

As discussed in this thread, monitor enter/exit trampolines
might be run through a fast path that does not end up in their
associated C-functions "mono_monitor_enter_trampoline()" and
"mono_monitor_exit_trampoline()" in mini-trampolines.c.

The unbox trampoline has no associated C-function, as far as
I can see.

Does the class init trampoline always call
"mono_class_runtime_trampoline()"?

I don't care about the other trampoline types, so far.

Okay, thanks.
