No, It's not a soft reserved range. This can simply simulate with QEMU with `maxmem=192G` option(see below full qemu command line).
In my environment, `0x200000000-0x5bffffff` is something like [DRAM_END + 1, DRAM_END + maxmem - TOTAL_INSTALLED_DRAM_SIZE]
DRAM_END: end of the installed DRAM in Node 3

This range is reserved for the DRAM hot-add. In my case, it will be registered into 'HMEM devices' by calling hmem_register_resource in HMAT(drivers/acpi/numa/hmat.c)

  893 static void hmat_register_target_devices(struct memory_target *target)
  894 {
  895         struct resource *res;
  896
  897         /*
  898          * Do not bother creating devices if no driver is available to
  899          * consume them.
  900          */
  901         if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEV_DAX_HMEM))
  902                 return;
  903
  904         for (res = target->memregions.child; res; res = res->sibling) {
  905                 int target_nid = pxm_to_node(target->memory_pxm);
  906
  907                 hmem_register_resource(target_nid, res);
  908         }
  909 }

Yes, that's true, because current RFC removed the code that filters out the non-soft-reserverd resource. As a result, it will try to register dax/kmem for all of them while some of them has been marked as busy in the iomem_resource.

This issue can be resolved by re-introducing sort_reserved_region_intersects(...) I guess.

I think the subroutine add_soft_reserved() in your previous patchset[1] are able to cover this TODO

Here is my local fixup based on Dan's RFC, it can resovle issue 1 and 2.

>> Regarding issue 3 (which exists in the current situation), this could be because it cannot ensure that dax_hmem_probe() executes prior to cxl_acpi_probe() when CXL_REGION is disabled.

>> I am pleased that you have pushed the patch to the cxl/for-6.18/cxl-probe-order branch, and I'm looking forward to its integration into the upstream during the v6.18 merge window.
>> Besides the current TODO, you also mentioned that this RFC PATCH must be further subdivided into several patches, so there remains significant work to be done.
>> If my understanding is correct, you would be personally continuing to push forward this patch, right?
