#ifndef ACCESS_ONCE
/*
 * Prevent the compiler from merging or refetching accesses.  The compiler
 * is also forbidden from reordering successive instances of ACCESS_ONCE(),
 * but only when the compiler is aware of some particular ordering.  One way
 * to make the compiler aware of ordering is to put the two invocations of
 * ACCESS_ONCE() in different C statements.
 *
 * This macro does absolutely -nothing- to prevent the CPU from reordering,
 * merging, or refetching absolutely anything at any time.  Its main intended
 * use is to mediate communication between process-level code and irq/NMI
 * handlers, all running on the same CPU.
