One of our problems is that on one of the boards the interrupt
acknowledge register is write only - so a read from it generates a bus
error, which isn't as pretty as it should be. I presume (from Andrews
email) that if we read a value from any other readable VME memory
location, that will flush the pipeline just as well. Is that correct?

Yup, that's what the book says and my experience has confirmed that. You might want to check that all your VMEbus master windows are marked as Guarded in the sysPhysMemDesc[] table too, since that's the mechanism by which the CPU is told it can't reorder read and write I/O operations within this memory range.
