This is pre-existing in the baseline driver; we will address separately.
As noted in the review, patch 4 already bounds the requested response
size by the RX slot capacity before admission in the completed series.

This is pre-existing in the baseline driver; we will address separately.
As noted in the review, patch 3 already keeps a timed-out slot reserved
until its pending response is consumed or teardown retires it. That
protection remains in v9.
