Yep. It is perfectly reasonable and I think intended that releases are ignored when in use. Thanks for reviewing though. As Ming has pointed out I've got some issues still to clean up. Thanks, Ira

For CXL spec 3.0 and later, the output payload of the command "Identify memory device" has been expanded to include one extra field (dynamic capacity event log size) in Table 8-94. However, in current kernel code, we follow cxl spec 2.0 and do not have the field. If DCD is supported, it means we have a least a 3.0 device as DCD is a 3.0 feature. I think we should at lease expand the payload to align with 3.0 even we do not use it yet. What do you think? Btw, we have that already in QEMU, I do not know why it does not trigger a out-of-bound access issue in the test.

Ignoring new fields should be fine without needing to care about the payload size. This stuff is supposed to be backwards compatible so if it isn't fine we have a problem. Newer device should always 'work' with older kernel. In this case QEMU is a newer device (for this command anyway).
