Previously, it couldn't do that because the there was also MMIO version and the decision which particular implementation to use was done at runtime. With older gccs it's possible to solve the problem by adding 'volatile' to 'struct ucall' but at least with gcc-8.3 this trick doesn't work. 'memory' clobber seems to do the job.
