Blunt but should work as we check this for tests
that matter and thus leftovers should not matter.

We get the breadcrumbs in place, with the wa_tails and so on so this
should work without any nops nor bb ends.

Due to the nature of the test, the nop has a minor twist to
think there is a nop in ring. This is more of a nop request,
or empty request. 

'live_bare|empty_switch' ?

Can't think of better so I dont insist, so regardless
