Wasn't there something in the tasking part of the language for this?  Ada's
multi-tasking model is shared memory between tasks.  I vaguely recall there was
a pragma, or something in the machine-dependant chapter, to declare certain
memory locations as volatile.  Certainly what you have is logically equivalent
to multi-tasking except that one of the tasks is implemented in hardware.
