The callbacks in kvp, vss and fcopy code are called the main thread and
also from interrupt context. If a state change is done by the main
thread it is not immediately seen by the interrupt. As a result the
state machine gets out of sync.
Force propagation of state changes via get/set helpers with a memory barrier.
