Indeed, if anything it should be even simpler since you don't need to
worry about specific sizes at all - any tricky boundary you don't want
to iterate through, just return short at that point and let the core
call you back again with the remainder.
(In fact this reminds me one of the low-priority cleanup jobs
outstanding was to trivially convert all the remaining drivers and
retire the old interfaces altogether)
Cheers,
