How do we now it's not needed in this function?
Perhaps "may not exist." is the bit that matters in this sentence.

make @resource CXL_RESOURCE_NONE.

(not "a the")

It might be worth making it clear that this will (I think) only matter
for future usecases and isn't a fix for how this function is used today.

Otherwise seems sensible to me with one comment below.

Could set this explicitly to CXL_REGLOC_RBI_EMPTY
which is what happens anyway, but it isn't obvious that
0 maps to something that indicates this doesn't exist.
