Major changes since v2:
- Clarify encoded region/granularity from raw values
- Rename "region" to cxlr everywhere
- Kconfig for the region driver
- Several small bug fixes

Original commit message follows with minor updates for correctness.

This patch series introduces the CXL region driver as well as associated APIs in
CXL core. The region driver enables the creation of "regions" which is a concept
defined by the CXL 2.0 specification [1]. Region verification and programming
state are owned by the cxl_region driver (implemented in the cxl_region module).
It relies on cxl_mem to determine if devices are CXL routed, and cxl_port to
actually handle the programming of the HDM decoders. Much of the region driver
is an implementation of algorithms described in the CXL Type 3 Memory Device
Software Guide [2].

The region driver will be responsible for configuring regions found on
persistent capacities in the Label Storage Area (LSA), it will also enumerate
regions configured by BIOS, usually volatile capacities, and will allow for
dynamic region creation (which can then be stored in the LSA). It is the primary
consumer of the CXL Port [3] and CXL Mem drivers introduced previously [4].

The patches for the region driver could be squashed. They're broken out to aid
review and because that's the order they were implemented in. My preference is
to keep those as they are.

Some things are still missing and will be worked on while these are reviewed (in
priority order):
1. Volatile regions creation and enumeration (Have a plan)
2. multi-level switches
3. Decoder programming restrictions (No plan). The one know restriction I've
   missed is to disallow programming HDM decoders that aren't in incremental
   system physical address ranges.
4. CXL region teardown -> nd_region teardown
5. Stress testing
