This looks basically fine.  Some small comments:

There's no need for kerneldoc for internal only functions and it can
make the generated documentation a bit confusing for users.  Just skip
the /** for /*.

It would probably be clearer to name the parameter pre_optimising rather
than pre_optimized, as it is the logic is a bit confusing.  Either that
or some comments.  A similar issue applies on the cleanup path.
