Patch Review

This is the main patch. A few observations:

> +impl<C: CommandToGsp> SplitState<C> {
> +    const MAX_CMD_SIZE: usize = GSP_MSG_QUEUE_ELEMENT_SIZE_MAX - size_of::<GspMsgElement>();
> +    const MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE: usize = Self::MAX_CMD_SIZE - size_of::<C::Command>();

`MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE` could underflow if `size_of::<C::Command>() > MAX_CMD_SIZE`. In practice this would mean a command header larger than ~64KB which seems impossible for any real GSP command, and `SplitState` is only instantiated with concrete types the driver controls, so this is not a real concern.

When a split is needed, the entire variable payload is serialized into a staging buffer. This means `init_variable_payload` is called once during `SplitState::new`, and then the staging buffer is read from when writing the main command and continuation records. This avoids calling `init_variable_payload` multiple times, which is correct.

> +    pub(crate) fn command(&self, inner: C) -> SplitCommand<'_, C> {
> +        if let Some((staging, _)) = &self.state {
> +            SplitCommand::Split(inner, staging)
> +        } else {
> +            SplitCommand::Single(inner)
> +        }
> +    }

`command()` takes `&self` but consumes `inner`. This means after calling `command()`, the caller no longer has the original command, but `SplitState` still holds the staging buffer for continuation records. The borrow relationships look correct.

> +            let chunk_size = remaining.min(Self::MAX_CMD_SIZE);
> +            let record = ContinuationRecord::new(&staging[*offset..(*offset + chunk_size)]);
> +            *offset += chunk_size;
> +            Some(record)
> +        } else {

The staging buffer length is `inner.variable_payload_len()` and the initial offset is `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE`. Could `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE > staging.len()` (i.e. `variable_payload_len()`)? That would cause `remaining` to underflow (panic in debug, wrap in release). Let's check: we only enter the split path when `command_size(inner) > MAX_CMD_SIZE`, which means `size_of::<C::Command>() + variable_payload_len() > MAX_CMD_SIZE`, so `variable_payload_len() > MAX_CMD_SIZE - size_of::<C::Command>() = MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE`. So the staging buffer is always strictly larger than `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE`, meaning `remaining` is always at least 1 on the first call. No underflow.

> +    fn variable_payload_len(&self) -> usize {
> +        match self {
> +            SplitCommand::Single(cmd) => cmd.variable_payload_len(),
> +            SplitCommand::Split(_, _) => SplitState::<C>::MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE,
> +        }
> +    }

For the `Split` variant, the variable payload is exactly `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE` bytes, which is the truncated first chunk of the full payload. This means `send_single_command` will allocate `size_of::<C::Command>() + MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE = MAX_CMD_SIZE`, which fits within one element. Correct.

> +    fn init_variable_payload(
> +        &self,
> +        dst: &mut SBufferIter<core::array::IntoIter<&mut [u8], 2>>,
> +    ) -> Result {
> +        match self {
> +            SplitCommand::Single(cmd) => cmd.init_variable_payload(dst),
> +            SplitCommand::Split(_, staging) => {
> +                dst.write_all(&staging[..self.variable_payload_len()])
> +            }
> +        }
> +    }

For `Split`, this writes the first `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE` bytes of the staging buffer. `self.variable_payload_len()` calls back into the match and returns `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE`. The `SBufferIter` was constructed with capacity `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE`, so after `write_all` it should be exactly empty, passing the `is_empty` check in `send_single_command`. Correct.

In `send_command`:

> +        let mut state = SplitState::new(&command)?;
> +
> +        self.send_single_command(bar, state.command(command))?;

`SplitState::new` takes `&command` and `state.command` takes `command` by value. If the command is not split, the original `command` is passed through to `send_single_command` without staging. If it is split, the staging buffer was already populated in `new`, and `command` is moved into `SplitCommand::Split` where its `init()` method is still called but its `init_variable_payload` is not (the staging buffer is used instead). This is correct.

One minor observation: the `SplitState` is declared `mut` but is only mutated during `next_continuation_record`. For the non-split path, `state` is not mutated at all. This is fine; the compiler would optimize it.

No bugs found in this patch.
