Details - Right now the bus bridge is doing a functional read when it
sees a partial block write. It should really be using a 1 line cache
to do it's work for it, but the caches probably need to be in a better
state before this happens.

This works now, however the implementation is non-ideal. We need more
control over the latency on both sides of the cache. Generally, memory
side requests should be handled quickly, while device side requests
might take longer. However unless we stick another bus bridge between
the devices and the cache this isn't really configurable.
