    More aggressively prevent a buffer from being optimized out
    
    The volatile global variable was first introduced in e86f9654c. I have
    noticed the compiler still optimizing the buffer out on AArch64
    presumably because the assignment is after all other observable
    behaviors so it's still valid to eliminate it.
