In terms of generated code this currently<br /> only affects architectures that do not use the default READ_ONCE()<br /> implementation.<br /> <br /> The only downside is that we are not guaranteed atomicity of the access<br /> itself, although on most architectures a plain load up to machine word<br /> size should still be atomic (a fact the default READ_ONCE() still relies<br /> on itself).
