Well, that should not be a matter of implementation, but of
language standard.
Besides not caching, still MIA is the fact that these read/write
operations should occur when asked, not later (orderly execution
means almost nothing if all those operations are executed by the
compiler at some time later, eventually not taking into account
sleep()s between operations - sometimes the hardware needs, let's
say, 500ms to guarantee a register is filled with a meaning value
- and so on.
So it is about the correct memory location, the immediateness of
those operations (this will also ensure orderly execution) and
about the uncaching.
