Thanks.  This is ok.

FWIW I once tried to clean up the madness surrounding m_header_read_in
and CU header reading in general.  Unfortunately I did not succeed... I
don't recall why but I think with DWO the header might have to be from
the DWO.  This is all kind of lame, because when doing the initial
cooked index scan, the headers have to be read, and so it seems like the
dwarf2_per_cu_data could be "more read-only" after that.
