Linus Torvalds 825d150875 Merge tag 'cxl-for-5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull initial support for CXL (Compute Express Link) from Dan Williams:
 "Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices.

  CXL is Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in
  November. The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS
  to dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for
  switches, persistent memory, and hotplug.

  A Type-3 Memory Device is a PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL
  Memory Device Class Code and implementing the CXL.mem protocol.
  CXL.mem allows device to advertise CPU and I/O coherent memory to the
  system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" in Linux
  /proc/iomem terms.

  In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative
  command hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning.
  It is this command interface that is the focus of the initial driver.
  With this driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be
  administered by Linux.

  Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space management
  are to be implemented post v5.12"

========================================
The Linux driver implementer's API guide
========================================
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.
