    Ok maybe I got things confused here. Is the idea that you can have an 
address that is not aligned to any word (e.g. only byte aligned) and that any 
bytes could be valid within the burst (hence the mask)? Do the bytes have to 
come in whole words or can they be partial? Do the valid bytes all reside at 
the beginning of the burst, i.e. from the start address or could they be 
anywhere?
    
    I am merely trying to understand if this is indeed a byte enable (and if so 
how organised) or if it is more a way of having smaller than "getBlockSize()" 
bursts.
    
    Does that make sense?
