    use consistent values when consuming runtime-changeable parameters
    
    There's no guarantee that e.g. a switch() control expression's memory
    operand(s) get(s) read just once. Guard against the compiler producing
    "unexpected" code by sprinkling around some ACCESS_ONCE().
    
    I'm leaving alone opt_conswitch[]: It gets accessed in quite a few
    places anyway, and an intermediate change won't have any severe effect
    afaict.
