This comment looks inappropriate.  How about 'no matter its access frequency'?

More than 80 columns.  Renaming stub_access_pattern into stub_pattern might
make sense.

Other than the trivial things, look good.  As my comments are only for trivial
cosmetic things, I will make the change and post v4 on my own.
