This array is nomiannly host-only entity and should not be emitted on GPU at all, IMO. In fact, nvcc errors out if we attempt to access it on the GPU: https://godbolt.org/z/G15zn35Wd
Whether it's extern or not should not matter. I think.
@yxsamliu Sam, WDYT? I suspect there is/was a reason we may have allowed const access on both sides.
