I'm assuming by requires that you, uhm, mean requires, and nes couldn't do 0b
reads, or cxgb3 0b writes.

Is there any requirement at the receiving side, versus the initiating side?
That is, just because nes issues a 0b write, does the receiving HW care if a
read or write shows up?  Or is this restriction on both sides?
