C dep+plain

(*
 * Result: Never
 *
 * This litmus test demonstrates that in LKMM, plain accesses
 * carry dependencies much like accesses to registers:
 * The data stored to *z1 and *z2 by P0() originates from P0()'s
 * READ_ONCE(), and therefore using that data to compute the
 * conditional of P0()'s if-statement creates a control dependency
 * from that READ_ONCE() to P0()'s WRITE_ONCE().
