I think (and this would help if you ran `pahole` on this structure) has
some gaps in it:
> +struct cxl_send_command {

Here..Maybe just add:
__u32 rsv_2;
> + __u64 in_payload;
> + };
> +
> + struct {
> + __s32 size_out;
And here. Maybe just add:
__u32 rsv_2;
> + __u64 out_payload;
> + };
> +};
Perhaps to prepare for the future where this may need to be expanded, you
could add a size at the start of the structure, and
maybe what version of structure it is?
Maybe for all the new structs you are adding?
