  27  * Instruct the compiler to perform only a single access to a variable
  28  * (prohibits merging and refetching). The compiler is also forbidden to reorder
  29  * successive instances of ACCESS_ONCE(), but only when the compiler is aware of
  30  * particular ordering. Compiler ordering can be ensured, for example, by
  31  * putting two ACCESS_ONCE() in separate C statements.
  32  *
  33  * This macro does absolutely -nothing- to prevent the CPU from reordering,
  34  * merging, or refetching absolutely anything at any time.  Its main intended
  35  * use is to mediate communication between process-level code and irq/NMI
  36  * handlers, all running on the same CPU.
