Good observation in the AI feedback, this would be a pre-existing issue
in the driver, as this patch does not change the struct layout or DMA
buffer usage.

I would prefer to keep this patch focused on the disconnect lifetime and
signal-handling fixes. Addressing potential cacheline sharing for the DMA
buffer likely requires a more deliberate change to the struct layout or
allocation strategy, so it would be better handled in a separate follow-up.

Happy to take a look at that separately if needed.

Thank you.
