Yes. we cannot make any assumption to the status of the FW files as well.
so I think we should expect a system reboot for any FW updates.

Got it:-) Thanks!

Hmm, Still I think we shall not make any assumption on this which
driver has no control. It seems that partitioning based on real FW sizes 
+ expecting
system reboot for FW file changes should be a driver side solution to 
support
enable_guc=1 then enable_guc=3 case.

Hmm, Just worried about wopcm->size - ctx_rsvd - wopcm->guc.size
may be incorrect (wrap around) since we don't have any checks on
the value of  ctx_rsvd  + wopcm->guc.size (it might be larger than wopcm 
size since
the checks we've done before could only guarantee wopcm->guc.size < 
wopcm.size).
