It's good to hear that you have plan to refine cmdq_pkt_create(). I
have one plan and wish you may consider in your patch. The plan is to
remove cl in struct cmdq_pkt because cl is used for channel
information and the client would have the channel information, so it's
not necessary to store the channel information in every packet. In
cmdq_pkt_jump() and cmdq_pkt_finalize() use cl to get
cmdq_get_shift_pa(), I think it's not necessary to get shift pa every
cmdq_pkt_jump() and every cmdq_pkt_finalize(), so client could
cmdq_get_shift_pa() once and pass this information to cmdq_pkt_jump()
and cmdq_pkt_finalize().
