Patch Review

This is the core patch. Key design:

- `send_command` now wraps `send_single_command` via `SplitState::new(comma=
nd)`.
- `SplitState::Single(command)` passes through to `send_single_command` dir=
ectly =E2=80=94 no extra allocation or copy for normal-sized commands.
- `SplitState::Split(command, continuations)` stages the variable payload i=
nto a `KVVec<u8>`, splits it at `MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD`, and sends the remainde=
r via `ContinuationRecord` commands.
- `ContinuationRecord` uses `type Command =3D ()` (zero-sized), so the enti=
re queue element is payload.

**Observations:**

1. The `ContinuationRecords` struct has a `next()` method but doesn't imple=
ment the `Iterator` trait. The comment at line 1337 says `while let Some(co=
ntinuation) =3D continuations.next()` with a note about turbofish being nee=
ded. Not implementing `Iterator` is likely intentional to avoid the trait's=
 `Item` type requiring a lifetime, but a brief comment on why would help.

2. In `SplitState::new`:
```rust
let mut command_payload =3D
    KVVec::<u8>::from_elem(0u8, payload_len.min(Self::MAX_FIRST_PAYLOAD), G=
FP_KERNEL)?;
let mut continuation_payload =3D
    KVVec::<u8>::from_elem(0u8, payload_len - command_payload.len(), GFP_KE=
RNEL)?;
```
This allocates `command_payload` of size `min(payload_len, MAX_FIRST_PAYLOA=
D)` and `continuation_payload` for the rest. The buffers are initialized to=
 zero then overwritten by `init_variable_payload` =E2=80=94 the double-writ=
e is acceptable as this is the oversized path.

3. `MsgFunction::ContinuationRecord` is added to the enum and `TryFrom`, ma=
intaining alphabetical order established in patch 1. The binding `NV_VGPU_M=
SG_FUNCTION_CONTINUATION_RECORD` already exists in the tree (confirmed valu=
e 71).

4. The cover letter mentions "Continuation record for receive is not necess=
ary to support at the moment" =E2=80=94 this is documented inline as well, =
which is good.

No blocking issues. This looks correct.
