It will, but it won't be told what the kernel did. So if believes the
GuC (as it should since it is a packet that should be unadulterated) the
entire stream is then corrupt.

The kernel should be avoiding interpretting the log packets as much as
possible - I would prefer it if we just moved the byte stream without
trying to interpret it as datagrams. But there is probably some merit to
at least using the log packets (datagrams).

There is no explicit check for valid src_data_ptr + buffer_size or
dst_data_ptr + buffer_size, and a quick glance at the code suggested no
reason to believe they must be valid.
