+ * A load from any of these pages will segfault if the clock in question is
+ * disabled, so appropriate compiler barriers and checks need to be used
+ * to prevent stray loads.
+ *
+ * These declarations MUST NOT be const. The compiler will assume that

+ * resulting code won't work, since the whole point is that these pages
+ * change over time, possibly while we're accessing them.
