The only acceptable uses for "volatile" are:
- in _code_, i.e., for things like the definition of "readb()" etc, where we
use it to force a particular access.
- with inline asms
- on "jiffies", for stupid legacy reasons

or are you saying that you want to subject/header/title modified also?
I wasn't aware that you were considering the inclusion of Linus' entire
email in the document. There exists a point where CodingStyle becomes so
large that people choose not to read it in its entirety, so I was
expecting only an addition that would explicit document the acceptable and
unacceptable uses of 'volatile' in kernel code with perhaps a link to his
email.
but I wouldn't put it into CodingStyle.
