That's not related to this patch, but it caught my attention: why are we 
using "volatile" here?

My understanding is that "volatile" should only be used to deal with 
special memory (like MMIO), but I don't think this it is the case here. 
(or is it?)

Here it seems that "volatile" is using to do inter-thread communication, 
but that's in general wrong: it doesn't protect from data races and it 
doesn't ensure atomicity.

What am I missing?

Giovanni.
