CXL Memory Expander devices (CXL 2.0 Type-3) support persistent memory
in addition to volatile memory expansion. The most significant changes
this requires of the existing LIBNVDIMM infrastructure, compared to what
was needed to support ACPI NFIT defined PMEM, is the ability to
dynamically provision regions in addition to namespaces, and a formal
model for hotplug.

Before region provisioning can be added the CXL enabling needs to
enumerate "nvdimm" devices on a CXL nvdimm-bus. This is modeled as a
CXL-nvdimm-bridge device (bridging CXL to nvdimm) and an associated
driver to activate and deactivate that bus-bridge. Once the bridge is
registered it scans for CXL nvdimm devices registered by endpoints.  The
CXL core bus is used as a rendezvous for nvdimm bridges and endpoints
allowing them to be registered and enabled in any order.

At the end of this series the ndctl utility can see CXL nvdimm resources
just like any other nvdimm bus.

    # ndctl list -BDiu -b CXL
    {
      "provider":"CXL",
      "dev":"ndbus1",
      "dimms":[
        { 
          "dev":"nmem1",
          "state":"disabled"
        },
        { 
          "dev":"nmem0",
          "state":"disabled"
        }
      ]
    }

Follow-on patches extend the nvdimm core label support for CXL region
and namespace labels. For now just add the machinery to register the
bus and nvdimm base objects.
