cxl/mem is cxl_mem.ko, This is cxl/pci.

This is easy to guarantee with modprobe policy, so I am not sure it is
worth stating.

This breakdown feels odd. I would split the trace event definitions into
its own lead in patch since that is a pile of definitions that can be
merged on their own. Then squash get, clear, and this patch into one
patch as they don't have much reason to go in separately.

This hunk likely goes with the first patch that actually implements some
mocked events.
