Are you sure this is a good idea?
On lpc systems this more or less stalls the bus, including keyboard/mouse (if 
connected via superio lpc).

On which systems have you tested this?
Spi/Lpc? Architecture?

This might not be noticable for small transfers, but think about much larger 
transfers....

Imho: NACK from my side.

Thanks,
Peter
