Trivial comments inline.  As Dave asked, what's the plan for multiple?
Add some brief notes to the patch description on this.

                struct cxl_region_label *region_label =

//I'd go long on thi sone as only just over 80 and helps readability.
                uuid_t *region_uuid = (uuid_t *)&region_label->type;

Saves a fine lines and there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason
not to do so.
