    cxl/mem: Add the cxl_mem driver · 8dd2bc0f

    At this point the subsystem can enumerate all CXL ports (CXL.mem decode
    resources in upstream switch ports and host bridges) in a system. The
    last mile is connecting those ports to endpoints.
    
    The cxl_mem driver connects an endpoint device to the platform CXL.mem
    protoctol decode-topology. At ->probe() time it walks its
    device-topology-ancestry and adds a CXL Port object at every Upstream
    Port hop until it gets to CXL root. The CXL root object is only present
    after a platform firmware driver registers platform CXL resources. For
    ACPI based platform this is managed by the ACPI0017 device and the
    cxl_acpi driver.
    
    The ports are registered such that disabling a given port automatically
    unregisters all descendant ports, and the chain can only be registered
    after the root is established.
    
    Given ACPI device scanning may run asynchronously compared to PCI device
    scanning the root driver is tasked with rescanning the bus after the
    root successfully probes.
    
    Conversely if any ports in a chain between the root and an endpoint
    becomes disconnected it subsequently triggers the endpoint to
    unregister. Given lock depenedencies the endpoint unregistration happens
    in a workqueue asynchronously. If userspace cares about synchronizing
    delayed work after port events the /sys/bus/cxl/flush attribute is
    available for that purpose.
