:-/  Except kind of for the access'.

What:           /sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/accessY/read_bandwidth
                /sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/accessY/write_banwidth

What:           /sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/accessY/read_latency
                /sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/accessY/write_latency

But I think you have a point.
