This is missing a check for the address-space; address-spaces other than zero can behave in strange ways.

This doesn't correctly account for the width of the pointer: it's possible two pointers could overlap via wraparound.

I don't this is really a good idea, anyway: this seems likely to break someone's code which accidentally forgot to mark a pointer volatile, and unlikely to actually help performance.
