^ Should this be here? It seems that READ_ONCE() will actually read
twice... even if that doesn't actually conflict with the required
semantics of READ_ONCE(), it looks odd.

Making a direct link between LTO and the memory model also seems highly
spurious (as discussed in the other subthread) so can we have a comment
explaining the reasoning?
