You did the right thing, I failed to jump in sooner on this set.

I'd prefer more fine-grained type safety wherever possible.

cxl_mem_get_event_records() is called all the time. The place to
allocate buffers attached to 'struct cxl_dev_state' at start up is
cxl_dev_state_create(), or sometime after cxl_enumerate_cmds() if you
want to wait and see if the device supports events and CXL _OSC says the
driver can drive events.

If an event handler wakes and reads 0-status bits because another
handler did it then return IRQ_HANDLED. You'll have this problem whether
you have a central function or not, because there's only one status
register for multiple sources.
