Are you commenting on the removed code or on the new one now?

The old code - it seems dead already.

I assume to old complex current_env check was once added to work around
initialization ordering problems. I do not see them in the way qemu
starts up, but I also do not have a clear picture of the original issues
anymore.

Yeah, it was probably a make-it-work hack. I don't think we have to worry about anything there now, though.
