This looks like it could depend on the firmware version in the future, hence it
should probably defined somewhere in fw/ with a corresponding comment. The
actual version switch is fine to omit for now of course (we agreed to add the
infrastructure for the version switch subsequently).

Why 0x10? Is there a specific reason?

This creates warnings for older compiler version, please use pub(crate) instead.

Please separate struct definitions and impl blocks with an empty line.

No check that NUM_PAGES actually fits the size of the DMA buffer handle passed
in? What happens if they do not match?

I think this should be handle.checked_add(). Additionally we should add the
following compile time check to make sure that the shift can never overflow:
const _MAX_OFFSET: usize = NUM_PAGES << GSP_PAGE_SHIFT;

I think we should just create a new gsp::Logbuffer type for this rather than
have a function as object constructor.

Please prefer into() if possible.
