C does not have Standard semantics for volatile. It's a giant mess.

But shared can't replace volatile in kernel space. shared means atomics/memory fences which is not what I want - that would just give me unnecessary overhead. I want the proper, standard C semantics of volatile,
Exactly what semantics are you looking for?
not the atomicity that people seem to associate with it.
D volatile isn't implemented, either.
Besides, shared isn't even implemented yet - how can it actually be called a valid replacement for volatile at all, at this point?
I need to know what you're looking for.
It seems amazing to me that volatile was deprecated in favor of something that isn't actually implemented (and even more amazing that the error message points to a feature that doesn't do the same thing)... Note that I'm writing actual kernel code here. I need something that actually works or I can't reliably write this code in D...
