When a memory address must be read, for instance a [mapped] PCI register,
the read value is assigned to a local variable that is not used after,
as for instance:
x = *((uint8_t *) mem_addr);
Such instructions do not compile with gcc 4.6.
The fix consists in adding the "volatile" attribute to the accessed data type
and to not assign the read value:
*((volatile uint8_t *) mem_addr);
