GuC will not stall and keep writing the logs into the buffer, if Driver 
is slow in responding to the previous flush interrupt.

But the overflow detection is done through a bit weird logic, which is 
executed only when GuC receives the response of the last flush interrupt 
from Driver, and increment is done by 1 only irrespective of how late 
the acknowledgement came from Driver side.

Right, it should be 16. Sorry, my bad.

I think rate limited DRM_ERROR would be apt here.
