    This might be done like this:

    1. In a pre-trimmer build step ([meta] Replace the custom linker steps with different solutions #17693) we determine if the dynamic registrar is needed (or it's set by a optimization flag).
    2. We set a trimmer feature flag, and check for this flag in Runtime.RegisterEntryAssembly(IntPtr).
    3. The trimmer should automatically remove the call to Runtime.RegisterEntryAssembly(Assembly).
