Patch Review

This is the largest and most significant patch. Several observations:

**Arithmetic in `try_as_pio_loadable`**: The adapter creation uses unchecke=
d addition:
```rust
let end =3D start + usize::from_safe_cast(params.len);
```
If `start + len` overflows (unlikely in practice but worth noting), this wo=
uld wrap. It should use `checked_add`:
```rust
let end =3D start.checked_add(usize::from_safe_cast(params.len)).ok_or(EINV=
AL)?;
```
This pattern appears twice (for IMEM and DMEM).

**`pio_wr_imem_slice` tag handling**: The tag computation looks correct:
```rust
let tag: u16 =3D load_offsets.start_tag.checked_add(n).ok_or(ERANGE)?;
```
Good use of checked arithmetic here.

**IMEM loading order in `pio_load`**: Non-secure IMEM is loaded before secu=
re IMEM:
```rust
if let Some(imem_ns) =3D fw.imem_ns_load_params() {
    self.pio_wr_imem_slice(bar, imem_ns)?;
}
if let Some(imem_sec) =3D fw.imem_sec_load_params() {
    self.pio_wr_imem_slice(bar, imem_sec)?;
}
```
This order matters for correctness =E2=80=94 the NS code typically sits at =
lower addresses and the secure code at higher addresses. Loading NS first, =
then secure seems intentional and correct based on how nouveau/RM handles t=
his.

**`chunks_exact(4)` remainder**: In `pio_wr_dmem_slice`, `chunks_exact(4)` =
silently drops any trailing bytes less than 4. The function already checks =
`data.len() % 4 !=3D 0` at the top, so this is safe. Good.

**Unused `fw` field**: The `FalconDmaFirmwarePioAdapter` struct has a `fw` =
field that is only used to delegate `brom_params()` and `boot_addr()`. This=
 is fine for the adapter pattern.

**`let w =3D [word[0], word[1], word[2], word[3]]`**: This could be simplif=
ied to `word.try_into().unwrap()` since `chunks_exact(4)` guarantees 4-elem=
ent slices, but the explicit form is arguably clearer.
