I tried to push one French word, but you caught it ;)
Will fix that and the other ones.

This is a bit empiric, the idea is to wait for the overall memory transfer
to be done. There is no real need to interact immediately after the
operation is terminated, so I pick that value to not make too many Hcalls
just for that. From the test I did, that seems to be a reasonable choice.

Thanks Nick for reviewing this series.
