I'm majorly confused by the _busy_loop naming scheme, especially here.
Like "why do we want to send a busy loop comand to guc, this doesn't make
sense".

It seems like you're using _busy_loop as a suffix for "this is ok to be
called in atomic context". The linux kernel bikeshed for this is generally
_atomic() (or _in_atomic() or something like that).  Would be good to
rename to make this slightly less confusing.
