It is desirable to retain the mappings from the calling function. By
simplifying this code, it will be much more straightforward to do that.

The current naming is confusing and wrong. The Register Locator is
identified by the DSVSEC identifier, not an offset.

Provide enough functionality to utilize the mailbox of a memory device.
The mailbox is used to interact with the firmware running on the memory
device. The flow is proven with one implemented command, "identify".
Because the class code has already told the driver this is a memory
device and the identify command is mandatory.
CXL devices contain an array of capabilities that describe the
interactions software can have with the device or firmware running on
the device. A CXL compliant device must implement the device status and
the mailbox capability. Additionally, a CXL compliant memory device must
implement the memory device capability. Each of the capabilities can
[will] provide an offset within the MMIO region for interacting with the
CXL device.
The capabilities tell the driver how to find and map the register space
for CXL Memory Devices. The registers are required to utilize the CXL
spec defined mailbox interface. The spec outlines two mailboxes, primary
and secondary. The secondary mailbox is earmarked for system firmware,
and not handled in this driver.
Primary mailboxes are capable of generating an interrupt when submitting
a background command. That implementation is saved for a later time.

The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System
RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory
was attached to the typical CPU memory controller.
With the CXL-2.0 specification a PCI endpoint can implement a "Type-3"
device interface and give the operating system control over "Host
Managed Device Memory". See section 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device.
The memory range exported by the device may optionally be described by
the platform firmware memory map, or by infrastructure like LIBNVDIMM to
provision persistent memory capacity from one, or more, CXL.mem devices.
A pre-requisite for Linux-managed memory-capacity provisioning is this
cxl_mem driver that can speak the mailbox protocol defined in section
8.2.8.4 Mailbox Registers.
For now just land the initial driver boiler-plate and Documentation/
infrastructure.
