How would the requirement to send immediate data with commands be supported?
(This would be Randy H's requirement to send write data without a RTT).  We
already agreed that immediate write data would be part of the command
message.  This would mean that all immediate write commands (with immediate
data) would be over the same channel.  So, then how would the striping across
multiple channels be utilized? Oh, well send the data on another channel you
say - ok, but what happens when the data arrives before the command?
