//! /lib/mmio — typed volatile MMIO register access, plus the memory-ordering
//! barriers a device driver needs. Used by drivers on top of an `mmio_map` grant.
//!
//! **`volatile` is not a barrier.** In Zig it means only: don't elide this access, and
//! don't reorder it against *other volatile* accesses. It says nothing about ordinary
//! stores — the DMA descriptor you just filled in write-back RAM — which the compiler
//! (and, on weakly-ordered hardware, the CPU) may freely move past a volatile MMIO
//! write. The canonical bug:
//!
//! ring[i] = descriptor; // ordinary store to WB RAM
//! doorbell.* = i; // volatile store to UC MMIO
//! // nothing orders these; the device can read a stale descriptor
//!
//! Put a `wmb()` between them. The barriers lower per-architecture — which is the whole
//! reason they are a named primitive and not scattered `asm volatile`:
//!
//! x86_64 aarch64
//! mb() mfence dsb sy
//! rmb() lfence dsb ld
//! wmb() sfence dsb st
//!
//! x86 is forgiving (TSO + strong-uncacheable MMIO), so a compiler barrier usually
//! suffices; ARM is not, and ARM is the win condition (docs/vision.md) — so the
//! abstraction exists now, while there is one caller (hpet) to get right. See
//! docs/driver-model.md (M14) for the full ordering contract.
