If you close the fd between the assignment and reading
from the pointer again, the test case becomes invalid because of
timing. Closing the fd before the '*p1 = 0xaa' should be fine,
but unnecessary.
I also realized that you might need to mark the pointers
as 'volatile' so that the compiler has to do the operations
in order.

Ok, so inside a single task, this does not happen.

Right, though that was not part of the test, I'd expect this in
the file even if the return value was broken.
