Yes, Kevin already pointed that out. I'll add it in v2. Same for [1/3].

While you're certainly right, this approach is already implemented in
several other memory and bus drivers and it was also suggested by
Sekhar in one of the tilcdc rev1 threads. There's also no real
alternative that I know of.

I know, I was there. ;)

Unfortunately it was just a discussion about potential approaches -
there's no code yet.
