And of course if the volatile variable in the 3506 example code was an MMIO
register, there would not be any atomicity, at least not given the hardware I
have come across.  And I am not aware of any devices where it would be useful
to blindly increment an MMIO register.

So I believe that this is a non-issue.  Or am I missing something?
