I dislike naming discussions, as in general, while there are often a
bunch of obviously incorrect names (here for example, read_page_data() ...)
there is very rarely one obviously right answer, and it all really just becomes
a matter of choice for whoever is doing it.

Nevertheless, perhaps something that says more what is actually happening,
rather than mentions what doesn't matter (races here), so perhaps something
like {read,write}_single_cycle() or {read,write}_1_bus_xact() or something
along those lines ?
