Till here, i must no less than start. And if i equals to start,
store_status() would always return 0.

Remove some unnecessary check to make it easy to read and prepare for
further cleanup.

Not sure this is useful, it relies on the implementation of store_status() 
when i == start and the overhead of the function call should actually be 
slower than the simple conditional to avoid it in that case?

Not sure about this.

While this patch is a transient state for the following cleanup. The purpose
of this is to make the consolidation a little easy to review.

You are right. This is likely a left over from the development.
i >= start because the former is the actual iterator and start is the
first index with the cached node.

Dropping the check improves readability because one might indeed wonder
why this is the only place to do the check and the overal iteration is
complex enough to add more questions on top.
