In order to accommodate cxl lsa 2.1 format region label, renamed

I would add some more information on why.  I've no idea from this
description whether the issue is a naming clash or a need for a broader
name or something entirely different.

Most readers aren't going to be particular familiar with the lsa spec
version changes, so help them out with a little more detail.

The comment you have with the union is probably the right info
to duplicate here.


Thanks Jonathan, I will elaborate commit message with more information.


No functional change introduced.

This is quite a lot of churn which, just looking at this patch, could
be avoided by just setting local variables to point at a particular
member of the union rather than the containing struct.
You already do this in a few places like nd_label_reserve_dpa().

Perhaps it will be come clearer why that doesn't make sense as
I ready later patches.


Sure, I will try to minimize wherever its possible.

Strange wrap.  I'd move ndd up a line.



Sure, I will fix it in V1

If you are only ever going to use one part of the union in a given
bit of code, why not use a struct of that type so you only need to change
the point where it is assigned rather that lots of places.

So keep this as struct nd_namespace_label *label0;

If that makes sense, check for other places where doing that will reduce the 
churn
and complexity of the code.


Sure, Let me revisit these. Thanks
