CXL devices identified by the memory-device class code must implement
the Device Command Interface (described in 8.2.9 of the CXL 2.0 spec).
While the driver already maintains a list of commands it supports, there
is still a need to be able to distinguish between commands that the
driver knows about from commands that are optionally supported by the
hardware.
The Command Effects Log (CEL) is specified in the CXL 2.0 specification.
The CEL is one of two types of logs, the other being vendor specific.
They are distinguished in hardware/spec via UUID. The CEL is useful for
2 things:
1. Determine which optional commands are supported by the CXL device.
2. Enumerate any vendor specific commands
The CEL is used by the driver to determine which commands are available
in the hardware and therefore which commands userspace is allowed to
execute. The set of enabled commands might be a subset of commands which
are advertised in UAPI via CXL_MEM_SEND_COMMAND IOCTL.
With the CEL enabling comes a internal flag to indicate a base set of
commands that are enabled regardless of CEL. Such commands are required
for basic interaction with the hardware and thus can be useful in debug
cases, for example if the CEL is corrupted.
The implementation leaves the statically defined table of commands and
supplements it with a bitmap to determine commands that are enabled.
This organization was chosen for the following reasons:
- Smaller memory footprint. Doesn't need a table per device.
- Reduce memory allocation complexity.
- Fixed command IDs to opcode mapping for all devices makes development
and debugging easier.
- Certain helpers are easily achievable, like cxl_for_each_cmd().

Create the /sys/bus/cxl hierarchy to enumerate:
* Memory Devices (per-endpoint control devices)
* Memory Address Space Devices (platform address ranges with
interleaving, performance, and persistence attributes)
* Memory Regions (active provisioned memory from an address space device
that is in use as System RAM or delegated to libnvdimm as Persistent
Memory regions).
For now, only the per-endpoint control devices are registered on the
'cxl' bus. However, going forward it will provide a mechanism to
coordinate cross-device interleave.

Provide enough functionality to utilize the mailbox of a memory device.
The mailbox is used to interact with the firmware running on the memory
device. The flow is proven with one implemented command, "identify".
Because the class code has already told the driver this is a memory
device and the identify command is mandatory.
CXL devices contain an array of capabilities that describe the
interactions software can have with the device or firmware running on
the device. A CXL compliant device must implement the device status and
the mailbox capability. Additionally, a CXL compliant memory device must
implement the memory device capability. Each of the capabilities can
[will] provide an offset within the MMIO region for interacting with the
CXL device.
The capabilities tell the driver how to find and map the register space
for CXL Memory Devices. The registers are required to utilize the CXL
spec defined mailbox interface. The spec outlines two mailboxes, primary
and secondary. The secondary mailbox is earmarked for system firmware,
and not handled in this driver.
Primary mailboxes are capable of generating an interrupt when submitting
a background command. That implementation is saved for a later time.
