Introduce the first cut at a 'cxl create-region' command, which uses the
ABI merged in the kernel in [2], and builds on the create-region foundation
laid out in [3].
This introduces libcxl objects for regions and their memdev mappings,
adds listing support for them, and libcxl APIs to create, enable,
disable, and destroy regions. These are consumed by respective cxl-cli
commands to perform the same region management operations.
The 'cxl create-region' command deserves a bit more detail. Its current
version can be considered a fundamental 'plumbing' implementation. It
allows, and in some cases, requires the user to specify the parameters
for the region being created. Future enhancements to this will allow a
simple 'cxl create-region' invocation to automatically pick suitable
root decoders, memdev endpoints, and interleave settings to create a
maximally sized and interleaved region.
Today, the create-region command requires the following from the user:
-d <root decoder> : the root decoder (CFMWS window) under which to
create the region
-m or -e <targets>: the memdev or endpoint decoder targets that will
form the new region
It can pick the following settings automatically (though the user can
also override these if desired):
-w : interleave ways - picked based on the number of memdev / endpoint
decoder targets supplied
-g : interleave granularity - selects the interleave granularity
advertised by the root decoder
-t : type of region - defaults to pmem. The ram (volatile) type is not
supported yet.
-s : size of region - deduced based on sizes of the specified targets
