+ * The major use cases of ACCESS_ONCE used to be (1) Mediating communication
+ * between process-level code and irq/NMI handlers, all running on the same CPU,
+ * and (2) Ensuring that the compiler does not  fold, spindle, or otherwise
+ * mutilate accesses that either do not require ordering or that interact
+ * with an explicit memory barrier or atomic instruction that provides the
+ * required ordering.
+ *
+ * If possible use READ_ONCE/ASSIGN_ONCE instead.
