 * the compiler that it can cache any value that it reads across calls.
 * This avoids multiple assertions and multiple reads within any one user.
 *
 * This works because we finish initializing the data before we ever read
 * from the "target_page" symbol.
 *
 * This also requires that we have a non-constant symbol by which we can
 * perform the actual initialization, and which forces the data to be
 * allocated within writable memory.  Thus "init_target_page", and we use
 * that symbol exclusively in the two functions that initialize this value.
 *
 * The "target_page" symbol is created as an alias of "init_target_page".
