[RFC v4 0/3] CXL Type-3 Volatile Memory Support

[Gregory Price <gourry.memverge@gmail.com>]

Changes in this version
    * Minor bug fixes spotted by J. Cameron
    * Whitespace changes to docs and tests moved ahead of patch
    * Address Space access to pmem region is now as(dpa-vmem_len)

Note: Submitted as an extention to the CDAT emulation because the CDAT DSMAS
entry concerns memory mapping and is required to successfully map memory
regions correctly in bios/efi.

See https://gitlab.com/jic23/qemu/-/tree/cxl-2022-11-17 for the base of
this patch set.



This patches provides 2 features to the CXL Type-3 Device:
    1) Volatile Memory Region Support
    2) Multi-Region support (1 Volatile, 1 Persistent)

Summary of Changes per-commit:
1) Add CXL_CAPACITY_MULTIPLIER definition to replace magic numbers
2) Whitespace updates to docs and tests
3) Refactor CDAT DSMAS Initialization for multi-region initialization
   Multi-Region and Volatile Memory support for CXL Type-3 Devices
   Test and Documentation updates

The final patch in this series makes 6 major changes to the type-3
device in order to implement multi-region and volatile region support
    1) The HostMemoryBackend [hostmem] has been replaced by two
       [hostvmem] and [hostpmem] to store volatile and persistent memory
       respectively
    2) The single AddressSpace has been replaced by two AddressSpaces
       [hostvmem_as] and [hostpmem_as] to map respective memdevs.
    3) Each memory region size and total region are stored separately
    4) The CDAT and DVSEC memory map entries have been updated:
       a) if vmem is present, vmem is mapped at DPA(0)
       b) if pmem is present
          i)  and vmem is present, pmem is mapped at DPA(vmem->size)
          ii) else, pmem is mapped at DPA(0)
       c) partitioning of pmem is not supported in this patch set but
          has been discussed and this design should suffice.
    5) Read/Write functions have been updated to access AddressSpaces
       according to the mapping described in #4.  Access to the
       persistent address space is calculated by (dpa-vmem_len)
    6) cxl-mailbox has been updated to report the respective size of
       volatile and persistent memory regions

CXL Spec (3.0) Section 8.2.9.8.2.0 - Get Partition Info
  Active Volatile Memory
    The device shall provide this volatile capacity starting at DPA 0
  Active Persistent Memory
    The device shall provide this persistent capacity starting at the
    DPA immediately following the volatile capacity

Partitioning of Persistent Memory regions may be supported on following
patch sets, but is not supported in this version.
