Log Message:
Make the trigger_bus() test compatible with more CPUs (at least ALPHA)
If we write a byte character into a pointer, a compiler can emit a
read-modify-write operation, especially when a CPU cannot access directly
a character wide address.
In this scenario calling mmap(2) with PROT_WRITE, without PROT_READ will
emit unexpected trap.
There are two possible workarounds for this issue:
- write register wide memory without rmw sequence,
- mark the region with additional protection PROT_READ
Both work for NetBSD/alpha.
Go for the latter as perhaps more safe for dump compilers emitting rmw
sequences.
