Some examples: http://forum.dlang.org/post/501A6E01.7010809@gmail.com

It can all be wrapped in "saner" templates and structs (for mmapped
register banks etc). Johannes specifically didn't ask for mem barriers,
cpu barriers or atomicity, just for compiler optimization barriers --
these don't need 'volatile'.
