cxl/memdev: Make mailbox functionality optional
In support of the Linux CXL core scaling for a wider set of CXL devices, allow for the creation of memdevs with some memory device capabilities disabled. Specifically, allow for CXL devices outside of those claiming to be compliant with the generic CXL memory device class code, like vendor specific Type-2/3 devices that host CXL.mem. This implies, allow for the creation of memdevs that only support component-registers, not necessarily memory-device-registers (like mailbox registers). A memdev derived from a CXL endpoint that does not support generic class code expectations is tagged "CXL_DEVTYPE_DEVMEM", while a memdev derived from a class-code compliant endpoint is tagged "CXL_DEVTYPE_CLASSMEM". The primary assumption of a CXL_DEVTYPE_DEVMEM memdev is that it optionally may not host a mailbox. Disable the command passthrough ioctl for memdevs that are not CXL_DEVTYPE_CLASSMEM, and return empty strings from memdev attributes associated with data retrieved via the class-device-standard IDENTIFY command. Note that empty strings were chosen over attribute visibility to maintain compatibility with shipping versions of cxl-cli that expect those attributes to always be present. Once cxl-cli has dropped that requirement this workaround can be deprecated.
