With the introduction of non-blocking CTBs more than one CTB can be in flight at a time. Increasing the size of the CTBs should reduce how often software hits the case where no space is available in the CTB buffer.

- As we don't expect too many messages, for now use minimum sizes.
- We don't expect too many messages in flight at any time, unless we are
- using the GuC submission. In that case each request requires a minimum
- 16 bytes which gives us a maximum 256 queue'd requests. Hopefully this
nit: all our CTB calculations are in dwords now, not bytes
- enough space to avoid backpressure on the driver. We increase the size
- of the receive buffer (relative to the send) to ensure a G2H response
- CTB has a landing spot.
hmm, but we are not checking G2H CTB yet will start doing it around patch 54/97 so maybe this other patch should be introduced earlier ?

in theory, we (host) should be faster than GuC, so G2H CTB shall be almost always empty, if this is not a case, maybe we should start monitoring what is happening and report some warnings if G2H is half full ?
