This is a bit weird due to how i915 uses the relay for the GuC logs, but 
it should be functionally correct. Each relay buffer is the same size of 
the GuC log buffer in i915 (which is guaranteed to be greater than 
PAGE_SIZE) and we always switch to a new relay buffer each time we dump 
new data, so we're guaranteed to have the space we need. We do some 
pointer magic because instead of just blindly copying the whole local 
log buffer to the relay buffer, we copy the header (which is in the 
first page) first, then we copy the rest of the logs (2nd page and 
onwards) based on what the header tells us has been filled out.

The approach looks good to me, but I agree that at this point we might 
as well do a full conversion to iosys map. As you already mentioned, the 
memcpy that copies the header would also need to be updated for that, 
because it accesses the same memory as src_data, while the other memcpy 
is from the local copy of the header to the relay, so it should be safe 
to not convert.
