Once a read or write reaches a CXL type 3 device, the HDM decoders
on the device are used to establish the Device Physical Address
which should be accessed. These functions peform the required maths
and then use a device specific address space to access the
hostmem->mr to fullfil the actual operation. Note that failed writes
are silent, but failed reads return poison. Note this is based
loosely on:

[RFC PATCH 0/9] hw/misc: Add support for interleaved memory accesses
Only lightly tested so far. More complex test cases yet to be written.

so that it can be ensured it is seen in the same configuration

A device's volatile and persistent memory are known Host Defined Memory
(HDM) regions. The mechanism by which the device is programmed to claim
the addresses associated with those regions is through dedicated logic
known as the HDM decoder. In order to allow the OS to properly program
the HDMs, the HDM decoders must be modeled.
There are two ways the HDM decoders can be implemented, the legacy
mechanism is through the PCIe DVSEC programming from CXL 1.1 (8.1.3.8),
and MMIO is found in 8.2.5.12 of the spec. For now, 8.1.3.8 is not
implemented.
Much of CXL device logic is implemented in cxl-utils. The HDM decoder
however is implemented directly by the device implementation.
Whilst the implementation currently does no validity checks on the
encoder set up, future work will add sanity checking specific to
the type of cxl component.

A CXL memory device (AKA Type 3) is a CXL component that contains some
combination of volatile and persistent memory. It also implements the
previously defined mailbox interface as well as the memory device
firmware interface.
Although the memory device is configured like a normal PCIe device, the
memory traffic is on an entirely separate bus conceptually (using the
same physical wires as PCIe, but different protocol).
Once the CXL topology is fully configure and address decoders committed,
the guest physical address for the memory device is part of a larger
window which is owned by the platform. The creation of these windows
is later in this series.
The following example will create a 256M device in a 512M window:
-object "memory-backend-file,id=cxl-mem1,share,mem-path=cxl-type3,size=512M"
-device "cxl-type3,bus=rp0,memdev=cxl-mem1,id=cxl-pmem0"
Note: Dropped PCDIMM info interfaces for now. They can be added if
appropriate at a later date.
