If I understand it correctly, PCIe has independent read and write
paths for each channel.  Does that mean we could actually be doing a
DMA upload and a DMA download at the same time?

If so, under what circumstances might it be useful to us to be doing
transfers in both directions at the same time?  Recall that we would
prefer to shadow textures in host memory, so we never have to download
images unless the GPU has drawn to something.

I can think of a few non-graphics situations where this would be
useful.  If the FPGA had some logic in it to do something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it would be nice to upload a new chunk and download the
results from the last one at the same time.

Thoughts?
