did you look at the noncherent load/store operators that SCI supports? 
I know SCI makes people think only coherency but it need not. 
There is a set of noncoherent memory operators that ought to be good for I/O.

Also SCI is targeted in one form to fiber  (i.e. one 'wire') 
which has been mentioned as a 
desirable thing, as opposed to a bytewide path.
