Uhm... atomicLoad() itself guarantees that the read is atomic. 
It's not about atomicity of operation, it's about sequential 
consistency. Using raw in this case is safe because the further 
synchronized block guarantees that this read will not be 
reordered to follow write. In fact, the presence of that 
synchronized block allows for making both load and store raw.
