Well, the issue is that most optimization passes just don't do anything
for volatile qualified accesses.  That's a safe thing.  Deciding what
kind of optimizations are allowed for volatile accesses might introduce bugs,
and sofar the consensus was "volatile?  don't bother with optimization, it'll
be slow anyway".

It very likely is combine that gives up here.
