To be clear I am also trying to get to the root of Bjorn's concern.
The proposal in $SUBJECT is to build on / treat a CXL topology as a
Linux device topology on /sys/bus/cxl that references devices on
/sys/bus/platform (CXL ACPI topology root and Host Bridges) and
/sys/bus/pci (CXL Switches and Endpoints). This CXL port device
topology has already been shipping for a few kernel cycles. What is on
the table now is a driver for CXL port devices (a logical Linux
construct). The driver handles discovery of "component registers"
either by ACPI table or PCI DVSEC and offers services to proxision CXL
regions. CXL 'regions' are also proposed as Linux devices that
represent an active CXL memory range which can interleave multiple
endpoints across multiple switches and host bridges.
