Subject: [PATCH v3 00/17] CXL Boot to Bash Documentation
v3:
- Cross-links (Bagas)
- Grammar and spelling (Randy)
- added fixups to access-coordinates (Bagas)
- Drop TODO sections (use-case, memory-tiering, CDAT/UEFI, SRAT Genport)
I unfortunately won't be able to come back around to this for
a while, so I'd rather not let this rot.

This series converts CXL Boot to Bash Docs from LSFMM '25 to Linux
Kernel Docs. In brief, this document covers (almost) everything Linux
expects from platforms to successfully bring volatile CXL memory
capacity online as a DAX device and/or SystemRAM.
It covers:
- Platform configuration data (ACPI Tables, EFI Memory Map, EFI Configs)
- Linux Build and Boot Parameters
- Linux consumption of Platform, Build, and Boot params
- Linux creation of base resources (NUMA nodes, memory tiers, etc)
- CXL Driver probe process and sysfs structure
- DAX Driver interactions between the CXL driver and memory hotplug
- Memory hotplug interactions
- Page allocator interactions (NUMA nodes, Memory Zones, Reclaim, etc).
Included are example platform configurations (ACPI tables) and cxl
decoder configurations to guide platform developers on expected
configurations (which may be more strict than the CXL spec).
