Robert Richter 98ceb1a42d cxl/region: Store HPA range in struct cxl_region
Each region has a known host physical address (HPA) range it is
assigned to. Endpoint decoders assigned to a region share the same HPA
range. The region's address range is the system's physical address
(SPA) range.

Endpoint decoders in systems that need address translation use HPAs
which are not SPAs. To make the SPA range accessible to the endpoint
decoders, store and track the region's SPA range in struct cxl_region.
Introduce the @hpa_range member to the struct. Now, the SPA range of
an endpoint decoder can be determined based on its assigned region.

Patch is a prerequisite to implement address translation which uses
struct cxl_region to store all relevant region and interleaving
parameters.
