 * A call to __dcc_getchar() or __dcc_putchar() is typically followed by
 * a call to __dcc_getstatus().  We want to make sure that the CPU does
 * not speculative read the DCC status before executing the read or write
 * instruction.  That's what the ISBs are for.
 *
 * The 'volatile' ensures that the compiler does not cache the status bits,
 * and instead reads the DCC register every time.
