OK

That was the goal :)

Sure, I can re-arrange to have a goto place. Function won't be as small, 
and if compiler is not smart enough we might end up with having more 
branches than what my current code has.

Sure, I will submit this patch separately from the rest of the project. 
In my opinion DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is the way of the future, so we 
should make sure it is working with as many configs as possible.
