It's not that I don't value what KCSAN does, but I really think this
is a KCSAN issue.

I absolutely *detest* these crazy "randomly add data race annotations".

Could we instead annotate particular structure fields? I don't want to
mark things actually "volatile", because that then causes the compiler
to generate absolutely horrendous code. But some KCSAN equivalent of
"this field has data races, and we don't care" kind of annotation
would be lovely..
