Pull cxl fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A collection of significant fixes for the CXL subsystem.

  The largest change in this set, that bordered on "new development", is
  the fix for the fact that the location of the new qos_class attribute
  did not match the Documentation. The fix ends up deleting more code
  than it added, and it has a new unit test to backstop basic errors in
  this interface going forward. So the "red-diff" and unit test saved
  the "rip it out and try again" response.

  In contrast, the new notification path for firmware reported CXL
  errors (CXL CPER notifications) has a locking context bug that can not
  be fixed with a red-diff. Given where the release cycle stands, it is
  not comfortable to squeeze in that fix in these waning days. So, that
  receives the "back it out and try again later" treatment.

  There is a regression fix in the code that establishes memory NUMA
  nodes for platform CXL regions. That has an ack from x86 folks. There
  are a couple more fixups for Linux to understand (reassemble) CXL
  regions instantiated by platform firmware. The policy around platforms
  that do not match host-physical-address with system-physical-address
  (i.e. systems that have an address translation mechanism between the
  address range reported in the ACPI CEDT.CFMWS and endpoint decoders)
  has been softened to abort driver load rather than teardown the memory
  range (can cause system hangs). Lastly, there is a robustness /
  regression fix for cases where the driver would previously continue in
  the face of error, and a fixup for PCI error notification handling.

  Summary:

   - Fix NUMA initialization from ACPI CEDT.CFMWS

   - Fix region assembly failures due to async init order

   - Fix / simplify export of qos_class information

   - Fix cxl_acpi initialization vs single-window-init failures

   - Fix handling of repeated 'pci_channel_io_frozen' notifications

   - Workaround platforms that violate host-physical-address ==
     system-physical address assumptions

   - Defer CXL CPER notification handling to v6.9"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
