So if for some reason we cannot resume, then we'd still initiate a 
transaction and have even more issues to sort out.

Fail big and fail early would really be my preference.

Also the user of this function is largely the Slave driver, which 
typically doesn't do any streaming operation but controls the imp-def 
registers. The bus driver will only use this routine for standard 
registers and that's a very small part of the total traffic.
