Jonathan reports [1] that after he changed QEMU to stop setting
Mem_Enable (8.1.3.2 DVSEC CXL Control (Bit 2)) by default the following
problems arose:

    1. Nothing in the Linux code actually sets Mem_Enable to 1.
    2. Probing fails in mem.c as wait_for_media() checks for
       info->mem_enabled (cached value of this bit).

The investigation turned up more issues:

- DVSEC ranges are always non-zero size, so it is ambiguous, just
  looking at the registers, as to whether platform firmware is trying to
  route the first 256M of memory to CXL, or just failed to change the
  registers from the default.

- No driver consideration for clearing "mem_enabled" and / or HDM
  Decoder Enable.

- The cxl_test mock override for cxl_hdm_decode_init() was hiding bugs
  in this path.

The end goal of these reworks are to improve detection for cases where
platform firmware is actually operating in legacy CXL DVSEC Range mode,
take ownership for setting and clearing "mem_enable" and HDM Decoder
Enable, and cleanup the indirections / mocking for cxl_test.

The new flow is described in patch 14:

    Previously, the cxl_mem driver was relying on platform-firmware to set
    "mem_enable". That is an invalid assumption as there is no requirement
    that platform-firmware sets the bit before the driver sees a device,
    especially in hot-plug scenarios. Additionally, ACPI-platforms that
    support CXL 2.0 devices also support the ACPI CEDT (CXL Early Discovery
    Table). That table outlines the platform permissible address ranges for
    CXL operation. So, there is a need for the driver to set "mem_enable",
    and there is information available to determine the validity of the CXL
    DVSEC Ranges. Note that the DVSEC Ranges can not be shut off completely.
    They always decode at least 256MB if "mem_enable" is set and the HDM
    Decoder capability is disabled.

    Arrange for the driver to optionally enable the HDM Decoder Capability
    if "mem_enable" was not set by platform firmware, or the CXL DVSEC Range
    configuration was invalid. Be careful to only disable memory decode if
    the kernel was the one to enable it. In other words, if CXL is backing
    all of kernel memory at boot the device needs to maintain "mem_enable"
    and "HDM Decoder enable" all the way up to handoff back to platform
    firmware (e.g. ACPI S5 state entry may require CXL memory to stay
    active).
