Changes since v3[1]:

- Collect review tags
- Add the kernel's struct_size() helper for trailing array struct
  calculations (Dan)
- Drop test/libcxl - to be re-added after switching to an in-kernel
  emulation/unit test regime 'cxl_test', similar to 'nfit_test' (Dan)
- Rename some verb_X_verb instances to drop the double verb (Dan)
- Rename '{get,set}_lsa' to '{read,write}_labels' in libcxl APIs (Dan)
- Add accessor APIs for health flags instead of leaking binary
  representations to library users (Dan)
- Rename '{get,set,zero}_lsa' APIs to '{read,write,zero}_label' (Dan)
- Add health info to cxl-list
- Fix a bug where a newly minted cmd struct didn't have a non-zero status
  (This allowed a flow like cxl_cmd_new_<foo> followed by
  cxl_cmd_<foo>_get_<field>() to silently succeed, where the second
  accessor call should've failed because cxl_cmd_submit was omitted.
- Change the cxl_cmd_read_label_get_payload() API to refrain from simply
  returning a void pointer, that is easy to access out of bounds. Instead,
  expect a buf/len pair that libcxl then copies the payload into (Dan)

These patches add a new utility and library to support CXL devices.
This comprehends the kernel's sysfs layout for CXL devices, and
implements a command submission harness for CXL mailbox commands via
ioctl()s defined by the cxl_mem driver. 

These patches include:
- libcxl representation of cxl_mem devices
- A command submission harness through libcxl
- A 'cxl-list' command which displays information about a device
- cxl-{read,write,zero}-labels commands for Label Storage Area
  manipulation

An ndctl branch with these patches is also available at [2]
