Except that "const volatile" already means "you cannot write to it,
and reads will not be fused".  :-/

From a semantics viewpoint __atomic_load_n(&x, __ATOMIC_RELAXED) would
work for loading from x.  The compilers that I tried currently do not
fuse loads, but they are allowed to do so.

Or is there something I am missing that would make this not work?
Aside from compilers not yet optimizing this case.
