Bus Bridge
  
 
  
-  Cycles slaved on one side are mastered on the other.
-  Need not be symmetric, or have flat address space.
-  Busses can be dissimilar.
-  Writes can be 'posted' (using internal FIFO). 
-  (On SoC, the `busses' on each side use multiplexors and not tri-states.)
-  System bandwidth ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 bus bandwidth: in inverse proportion to the fraction of bridge crossing cycles.
