I think something like this could be carried in a new cxl/contrib/ directory. I also note that the cxl-cli command harness is stolen from git which has the ability to have sub-commands defined by scripts, like 'git-send-email', rather than C library calls. So if there is a desire for scripting language support that could be an option.
This patch is a script providing region deletion-creation management required during hotplug remove-insert. It allows a user to hotplug remove and reinsert a CXL device without requiring the user to make additional tool calls to destroy-create the region. The tool will save the region configuration before removal and recreate the region later after hotplug reinsert. The script makes the necessary calls to the cxl cli and daxctl tools to manage the regions. This may be useful to add to the ndctl tools as a standalone tool or incoprorate into the existing CXL cli or daxctl tools. I'm interested in feedback.
