Let's assume this is true, that fabric query/grant is negligible part
of the overall budget. Then clearly LC can requery for grant if it
didn't receive it in X ns, and it will add negligible delay to overall
delay-through-chassis?
Giving us full redundancy over failover, without any between-fabric
intelligence or duplicate requests.
