I do not not much about the hardware limits of the SPI controller 
inside the Pi but:

My first thought is that it probably would be nice to be able to 
transfer any numbers of bit, and not be bound to it being dividable by 
8.

For SWD, TX and RX can probably be bound together, but the TX needs to 
be able to tri-state unless a an external buffer is used.
