Patch Review

This is the core patch. Three new types are introduced:

**`ContinuationRecord<'a>`**: A simple command that writes its payload as-i=
s, using `type Command =3D ()` (zero-size header). This correctly means the=
 entire element payload is variable data.

**`SplitState<C>`**: Determines whether splitting is needed and manages the=
 staging buffer. Key constants:

```rust
const MAX_CMD_SIZE: usize =3D GSP_MSG_QUEUE_ELEMENT_SIZE_MAX - size_of::<Gs=
pMsgElement>();
const MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE: usize =3D Self::MAX_CMD_SIZE - size_of::<C::C=
ommand>();
```

The split decision in `new()` is correct =E2=80=94 only when `command_size(=
inner) > MAX_CMD_SIZE` does staging occur. The staging buffer is populated =
eagerly by calling `inner.init_variable_payload()` once, which avoids calli=
ng the user's init function multiple times.

**`SplitCommand<'a, C>`**: An enum wrapping either the original command (`S=
ingle`) or the truncated first-chunk version (`Split`). The `CommandToGsp` =
impl for `Split` truncates `variable_payload_len()` to `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_S=
IZE` and copies from the staging buffer.

The updated `send_command` flow is clean:

```rust
let mut state =3D SplitState::new(&command)?;
self.send_single_command(bar, state.command(command))?;
while let Some(continuation) =3D state.next_continuation_record() {
    self.send_single_command::<ContinuationRecord<'_>>(bar, continuation)?;
}
```

**One observation**: `command_size` is changed from `fn` to `pub(crate) fn`=
 to allow access from `commands.rs`. This is a minor visibility escalation =
that's fine for a crate-internal function.

**Observation on `next_continuation_record` continuation chunk sizing**: Ea=
ch continuation record gets at most `MAX_CMD_SIZE` bytes of payload. Since =
`ContinuationRecord` has `type Command =3D ()` (zero-size), the total eleme=
nt size is `size_of::<GspMsgElement>() + chunk_size`, which maxes out at ex=
actly `GSP_MSG_QUEUE_ELEMENT_SIZE_MAX`. This correctly stays within the per=
-element limit and won't trigger the `EMSGSIZE` check added in patch 4.

**Minor style nit**: The `_phantom: PhantomData` field in `SplitState` exis=
ts because the struct needs to carry the `C` type parameter for the associa=
ted constants (`MAX_CMD_SIZE`, `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD_SIZE`). This is a standar=
d Rust pattern and is fine.

**Question for the author**: The cover letter mentions "continuation record=
 for receive is not necessary to support at the moment because those replie=
s do not need to be read and are currently drained by retrying `receive_msg=
` on ERANGE." Is there a concern that GSP could *respond* with continuation=
 records to these large RPCs? If so, silently draining them seems fragile i=
f future RPCs need to read large responses. A `dev_warn!` or tracking note =
might be useful there, though this is outside the scope of this series.
