Merge tag 'cxl-for-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl

Pull Compute Express Link (CXL) updates from Dan Williams:
 "To date Linux has been dependent on platform-firmware to map CXL RAM
  regions and handle events / errors from devices. With this update we
  can now parse / update the CXL memory layout, and report events /
  errors from devices. This is a precursor for the CXL subsystem to
  handle the end-to-end "RAS" flow for CXL memory. i.e. the flow that
  for DDR-attached-DRAM is handled by the EDAC driver where it maps
  system physical address events to a field-replaceable-unit (FRU /
  endpoint device). In general, CXL has the potential to standardize
  what has historically been a pile of memory-controller-specific error
  handling logic.

  Another change of note is the default policy for handling RAM-backed
  device-dax instances. Previously the default access mode was "device",
  mmap(2) a device special file to access memory. The new default is
  "kmem" where the addr...
