Things don't work that way on alpha, but that's why READ_ONCE()
includes an smp_read_barrier_depends():

#define __READ_ONCE(x, check)                                           \
({                                                                      \
        union { typeof(x) __val; char __c[1]; } __u;                    \
        if (check)                                                      \
                __read_once_size(&(x), __u.__c, sizeof(x));             \
        else                                                            \
                __read_once_size_nocheck(&(x), __u.__c, sizeof(x));     \
        smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
        __u.__val;                                                      \
})
#define READ_ONCE(x) __READ_ONCE(x, 1)
