The pending efforts to add CXL Accelerator (type-2) device [1], and Dynamic Capacity (DCD) support [2], tripped on the no-longer-fit-for-purpose design in the CXL subsystem for tracking device-physical-address (DPA) metadata. Trip hazards include: - CXL Memory Devices need to consider a PMEM partition, but Accelerator devices with CXL.mem likely do not in the common case. - CXL Memory Devices enumerate DPA through Memory Device mailbox commands like Partition Info, Accelerators devices do not. - CXL Memory Devices that support DCD support more than 2 partitions. Some of the driver algorithms are awkward to expand to > 2 partition cases. - DPA performance data is a general capability that can be shared with accelerators, so tracking it in 'struct cxl_memdev_state' is no longer suitable. - Hardcoded assumptions around the PMEM partition always being index-1 if RAM is zero-sized or PMEM is zero sized. - 'enum cxl_decoder_mode' is sometimes a partition id and sometimes a memory property, it should be phased in favor of a partition id and the memory property comes from the partition info. Towards cleaning up those issues and allowing a smoother landing for the aforementioned pending efforts, introduce a 'struct cxl_dpa_partition' array to 'struct cxl_dev_state', and 'struct cxl_range_info' as a shared way for Memory Devices and Accelerators to initialize the DPA information in 'struct cxl_dev_state'. For now, split a new cxl_dpa_setup() from cxl_mem_create_range_info() to get the new data structure initialized, and cleanup some qos_class init. Follow on patches will go further to use the new data structure to cleanup algorithms that are better suited to loop over all possible partitions. cxl_dpa_setup() follows the locking expectations of mutating the device DPA map, and is suitable for Accelerator drivers to use. Accelerators likely only have one hardcoded 'ram' partition to convey to the cxl_core.

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 reStructuredText 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.
