Subject: [PATCH 3/4 v4] cxl/core: Enable Region creation on x86 with LMH

The CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure (CFMWS) describes zero or more Host
Physical Address (HPA) windows that are associated with each CXL Host
Bridge. Each window represents a contiguous HPA that may be interleaved
with one or more targets (CXL v3.1 - 9.18.1.3).

The Low Memory Hole (LMH) of x86 is a range of addresses of physical low
memory to which systems cannot send transactions. In some cases the size
of that hole is not compatible with the CXL hardware decoder constraint
that the size is always aligned to 256M * Interleave Ways.

On those systems, BIOS publishes CFMWS which communicate the active System
Physical Address (SPA) ranges that map to a subset of the Host Physical
Address (HPA) ranges. The SPA range trims out the hole, and capacity in
the endpoint is lost with no SPA to map to CXL HPA in that hole.

In the early stages of CXL Regions construction and attach on platforms
with Low Memory Holes, cxl_add_to_region() fails and returns an error
because it can't find any CXL Window that matches a given CXL Endpoint
Decoder.

Detect a Low Memory Hole by comparing Root Decoders and Endpoint Decoders
ranges with the use of arch_match_{spa,region}() helpers.

Match Root Decoders and CXL Regions with corresponding CXL Endpoint
Decoders. Currently a Low Memory Holes would prevent the matching functions
to return true.

Construct CXL Regions with HPA range's end adjusted to the matching SPA.

Allow the attach target process to complete by allowing Regions to not
fit with alignment constraints (i.e., alignment to NIW * 256M rule).
