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...
