Parav what are you asking about here? pcie supports CAS and Swap which
likely can work for this use-case - these are non posted writes. It's in
the pcie spec. Zhu Lingshan if your proposal relies on this then you should
include
- explanation on how it's supposed to be implemented using AtomicOp
- some data on how common support is or is likely to be in the field
