That's an interesting point. The depends on !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
reduces build and potentially other automatic test coverage for
LUO/KHO.

We should prioritize relaxing this constraint. There are a few
possible short- and long-term solutions, which I will discuss with
Mike and Pratyush at our next sync.
