As long as compile passes, that proves the removal of the unused fields is safe. And by reading the code, I believe the movement of the comment is also correct.

Looks like you have done a little bit rewording on the comment:

1. "This loop stores into os_page_ptrs[]” is understandable, but feels a bit incomplete to me as non-English-speaking. I understand your intention is to make “stores” and “touches” to share “addresses”. But this is not a strong opinion comment, if Michael considers okay, I will be fine as well.

2. Instead of saying “if needed”, why don’t explicitly mention something like “on the first pass”.
