Pull CXL (Compute Express Link) updates from Dan Williams:
 "This subsystem is still in the build-out phase as the bulk of the
  update is improvements to enumeration and fleshing out the device
  model. In terms of new features, more mailbox commands have been added
  to the allowed-list in support of persistent memory provisioning
  support targeting v5.15.

  The critical update from an enumeration perspective is support for the
  CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure that indicates to Linux which system
  physical address ranges decode to the CXL Host Bridges in the system.
  This allows the driver to detect which address ranges have been mapped
  by firmware and what address ranges are available for future hotplug.

  So, again, mostly skeleton this round, with more meat targeting v5.15.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure, a recent
     extension of the ACPI CEDT (CXL Early Discovery Table)

   - Add infrastructure for component registers

   - Add HDM (Host-managed device memory) decoder definitions

   - Define a device model for an HDM decoder tree

   - Bridge CXL persistent memory capabilities to an NVDIMM bus /
     device-model

   - Switch to fine grained mapping of CXL MMIO registers to allow
     different drivers / system software to own individual register
     blocks

   - Enable media provisioning commands, and publish the label storage
     area size in sysfs

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes"

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
