Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 0/3] efi/cxl-cper: Report CPER CXL component events
 through trace events

Series status/background
========================

This is another RFC version of processing the CXL CPER records through
the CXL trace mechanisms as Dan mentioned in [1].

I moved forward with eliminating the GUID to UUID conversion I mentioned
in the original RFC thread[2].  Instead a new event type is used once
the GUID or UUID's is used to decode the event.

This remains compile tested with only.

Cover letter
============

CXL Component Events, as defined by EFI 2.10 Section N.2.14, wrap a
mostly CXL event payload in an EFI Common Platform Error Record (CPER)
record.  If a device is configured for firmware first CXL event records
are not sent directly to the host.

The CXL sub-system uniquely has DPA to HPA translation information.  It
also already properly decodes the event record format.  Send the CXL
CPER records to the CXL sub-system for processing.

With CXL event logs the device interrupts the host with events.  In the
EFI case events are wrapped with device information which needs to be
matched with memdev devices the CXL driver is tracking.

A number of alternatives were considered to match the memdev with the
CPER record.  The most straight forward comparison is via serial number.

CPER records are identified with GUID's while CXL event logs contain
UUID's.  The UUID was previously printed for all events.  But the UUID
is redundant information which presents unnecessary complexity when
processing CPER data.  Remove the UUIDs from known events.
