/*
 * memset_volatile is a volatile pointer to the memset function.
 * You can call (*memset_volatile)(buf, val, len) or even
 * memset_volatile(buf, val, len) just as you would call
 * memset(buf, val, len), but the use of a volatile pointer
 * guarantees that the compiler will not optimise the call away.
