Does it fix anything in real-world? As far as I know, volatile is not enough
to ensure inter-threads synchronization in SMP environments: the variable
could be updated in what the compiler sees as the structure in memory, but a
memory barrier is necessary to ensure this change is forwarded from the
core's cache to the common memory.

I still need to look at what synchronization primitives were added in lavu
for the refcounted frames API.
