I think that's reasonable for 4.6.  But we don't need to make
data-ref analysis fail just because of volatile references - we for
example can easily unroll a loop with volatile loads/stores.

Of course this case seems to be special - how do we deal with
stmts with no uses during vectorization?  Or do we assume
they don't happen because usually DCE gets rid of them?
