Sajay,

My comments were meant in the context of the case that the spec
describes: " when the total data amount to be sent by a command is
larger than the negotiated amount".  So I abbreviated a bit.  The more
precise statement would be "one is to forbid the sender sending less
than the negotiated unsolicited data length or the total I/O length,
whichever is smaller".
