Patch Review

This is the actual bug fix. The `PteArray<NUM_PAGES>` was `[u64; NUM_PAGES]=
` on the stack, which for typical GSP page sizes resulted in 8216+ bytes of=
 stack usage, causing overflow.

**cmdq.rs changes** =E2=80=94 Uses the projection macro to write PTEs one-b=
y-one:

```rust
for i in 0..NUM_PTES {
    dma_write!(
        gsp_mem,
        [0]?.ptes.0[i],
        PteArray::<NUM_PTES>::entry(start, i)?
    );
}
```

The use of infallible `[i]` (not `[i]?`) for the inner array index is inter=
esting. This relies on the compiler (LLVM) proving that `i < NUM_PTES` from=
 the `0..NUM_PTES` loop bound, so `build_error!()` is eliminated as dead co=
de. If the optimizer cannot prove this, compilation will fail, which acts a=
s a safety net. This is acceptable but somewhat fragile =E2=80=94 if future=
 changes complicate the loop, it could become a compile error. Using `[i]?`=
 would be safer and essentially free at runtime.

**gsp.rs LogBuffer::new changes** =E2=80=94 Does NOT use the projection mac=
ro or `PteArray::entry()`:

```rust
let pte_region =3D unsafe {
    obj.0
        .as_slice_mut(size_of::<u64>(), NUM_PAGES * size_of::<u64>())?
};
for (i, chunk) in pte_region.chunks_exact_mut(size_of::<u64>()).enumerate()=
 {
    let pte_value =3D start_addr
        .checked_add(num::usize_as_u64(i) << GSP_PAGE_SHIFT)
        .ok_or(EOVERFLOW)?;
    chunk.copy_from_slice(&pte_value.to_ne_bytes());
}
```

**Issue: Code duplication** =E2=80=94 The PTE value calculation here (`star=
t_addr.checked_add(...)`) duplicates the logic of the newly added `PteArray=
::entry()` method. The `entry()` method was added in the same patch but is =
only called from `cmdq.rs`. The `gsp.rs` path should use it too:

```rust
let pte_value =3D PteArray::<NUM_PAGES>::entry(start_addr, i)?;
```

This would reduce duplication and keep the PTE calculation logic in one pla=
ce.

**Issue: Inconsistent approaches** =E2=80=94 The two call sites use fundame=
ntally different strategies: `cmdq.rs` uses `dma_write!` with projection, w=
hile `gsp.rs` uses raw `as_slice_mut` + `chunks_exact_mut` + manual byte co=
pying. This is understandable since `LogBuffer` wraps `CoherentAllocation<u=
8>` (byte-level access) while `DmaGspMem` wraps `CoherentAllocation<GspMem>=
` (typed access), but a brief comment in `gsp.rs` explaining why the projec=
tion approach isn't used here would help future readers.

**Minor style nit**: The comment at line 295 has a double space:

```rust
// This is a  one by one GSP Page write to the memory
```

Overall the fix is correct and achieves the goal of eliminating the stack o=
verflow. The inconsistency between the two call sites and the unused `PteAr=
ray::entry()` in `gsp.rs` are the main items worth addressing before merge.
