Tag "guest_saw_irq" as "volatile" to ensure that the compiler will never
optimize away lookups. Relying on the compiler thinking that the flag
is global and thus might change also works, but it's subtle, less robust,
and looks like a bug at first glance, e.g. risks being "fixed" and
breaking the test.
Make the flag "static" as well since convincing the compiler it's global
is no longer necessary.
Alternatively, the flag could be accessed with {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), but
literally every access would need the wrappers, and eking out performance
isn't exactly top priority for selftests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
