Since we're not providing acquire semantics for the non-atomic case,
what we really want is the generic definition of __READ_ONCE() from
include/asm-generic/rwonce.h here. The header inclusion mess prevents
that, but why can't we just inline that definition here for the
'default' case? If TYPEOF_UNQUAL() leads to better codegen, shouldn't
we use that to implement __unqual_scalar_typeof() when it is available?

We are?

Great! Then I don't grok why we need to choose between
__unqual_scalar_typeof() and __typeof_unqual__() in the arch code. We
should just use the former and it will DTRT.
