I think there are free bits in the request status fields which can be
used. But setting the request status say from intel_guc_ct_enabled() might
not be straightforward since you have to locate waiting requests and also
there may be multiple such requests (waiting in different threads).

Maybe an easier way might be to do something like:

bool foo(ct, req)
{
	if (!intel_guc_ct_enabled(ct)) {
		req->status = CT_WENT_AWAY;
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

Now in your patch we can substitute foo() instead of
!intel_guc_ct_enabled(ct) so that we have:

 #define done \
    (foo() || FIELD_GET(GUC_HXG_MSG_0_ORIGIN, READ_ONCE(req->status)) == \
     GUC_HXG_ORIGIN_GUC)

And then check for req->status == CT_WENT_AWAY (most likely in ct_send()).
