While platform firmware takes some responsibility for mapping the RAM capacity of CXL devices present at boot, the OS is responsible for mapping the remainder and hot-added devices. Platform firmware is also responsible for identifying the platform general purpose memory pool, typically DDR attached DRAM, and arranging for the remainder to be 'Soft Reserved'. That reservation allows the CXL subsystem to route the memory to core-mm via memory-hotplug (dax_kmem), or leave it for dedicated access (device-dax). The new 'struct cxl_dax_region' object allows for a CXL memory resource (region) to be published, but also allow for udev and module policy to act on that event. It also prevents cxl_core.ko from having a module loading dependency on any drivers/dax/ modules.
