As was discussed in another thread a while ago, the middle-end doesn't wreally
have a good definition of volatile semantics AT ALL: a lot of it is just "do
what we used to do".

My feeling is that the proper semantics of volatile are that the access
pattern in the generated code should match, as closely as the underlying
machine allows, the access pattern in the source.  Unfortunately, this is an
informal, and hence necessarily imprecise, definition, but I think it might
be the best we can do.  It's certainly consistent with past practice.
