cxl/pmem: Register 'pmem' / cxl_nvdimm devices
While a memX device on /sys/bus/cxl represents a CXL memory expander control interface, a pmemX device represents the persistent memory sub-functionality. It bridges the CXL subystem to the libnvdimm nmemX control interface. With this skeleton ndctl can now see persistent memory devices on a "CXL" bus. Later patches add support for translating libnvdimm native commands to CXL commands. # ndctl list -BDiu -b CXL { "provider":"CXL", "dev":"ndbus1", "dimms":[ { "dev":"nmem1", "state":"disabled" }, { "dev":"nmem0", "state":"disabled" } ] } Given nvdimm_bus_unregister() removes all devices on an ndbus0 the cxl_pmem infrastructure needs to arrange ->remove() to be triggered on cxl_nvdimm devices to keep their enabled state synchronized with the registration state of their corresponding device on the nvdimm_bus. In other words, always arrange for cxl_nvdimm_driver.remove() to unregister nvdimms from an nvdimm_bus ahead of the bus being unregistered.
