Subject: [PATCH v4 9/9] cxl/mem: Add payload dumping for debug

It's often useful in debug scenarios to see what the hardware has dumped
out. As it stands today, any device error will result in the payload not
being copied out, so there is no way to triage commands which weren't
expected to fail (and sometimes the payload may have that information).

The functionality is protected by normal kernel security mechanisms as
well as a CONFIG option in the CXL driver.

This was extracted from the original version of the CXL enabling patch
series.
