No, it's a noncached memory.

It works for register access.
Here is noncache memory access, add mb(), just want to prohibite both
the compiler and CPU from reordering read/writes.

Maybe the comment is misleading, I'll change it, here just want to
prevent reordering of compiler and cpu.

Ok, I'll do.
