Given the confusion this has caused on IRC, I'd prefer that the code was
explicit.  Is the following ok?

cons = pv_ring->in_cons;
prod = LOAD_ACQUIRE(&pv_ring->in_prod);

If so, I can fix up on commit.

I'm not really convinced by this: If this was really happening, then you could never do multiple declarations in the same line because it would always degrade.

According to for example Wikipedia, 

/**
 *  Commas act as separators in this line, not as an operator.
 *  Results: a=1, b=2, c=3, i=0
 */
int a=1, b=2, c=3, i=0;

Also, read_some is obviously modeled after write_some, so you would have to change that one too.
