mainlining shenanigans

CXL memory expanders that support the CXL 2.0 memory device class code
include an "HDM Decoder Capability" mechanism to supplant the "CXL DVSEC
Range" mechanism originally defined in CXL 1.1. Both mechanisms depend
on a "mem_enable" bit being set in configuration space before either
mechanism activates. When the HDM Decoder Capability is enabled the CXL
DVSEC Range settings are ignored.
Previously, the cxl_mem driver was relying on platform-firmware to set
"mem_enable". That is an invalid assumption as there is no requirement
that platform-firmware sets the bit before the driver sees a device,
especially in hot-plug scenarios. Additionally, ACPI-platforms that
support CXL 2.0 devices also support the ACPI CEDT (CXL Early Discovery
Table). That table outlines the platform permissible address ranges for
CXL operation. So, there is a need for the driver to set "mem_enable",
and there is information available to determine the validity of the CXL
DVSEC Ranges.
Arrange for the driver to optionally enable the HDM Decoder Capability
if "mem_enable" was not set by platform firmware, or the CXL DVSEC Range
configuration was invalid. Be careful to only disable memory decode if
the kernel was the one to enable it. In other words, if CXL is backing
all of kernel memory at boot the device needs to maintain "mem_enable"
and "HDM Decoder enable" all the way up to handoff back to platform
firmware (e.g. ACPI S5 state entry may require CXL memory to stay
active).

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.
