For initial CXL emulation / kernel driver bring up a single Host-managed
Device Memory (HDM) decoder instance was sufficient as it let us test the
basic region creation code etc. More complex testing appropriate today
requires a more realistic configuration with multiple decoders.

The Linux kernel will use separate decoders for each memory type (and
shortly per DCD region) and for each interleave set within a memory type
or DCD region. 4 decoders are sufficient for most test cases today but
we may need to grow these further in future.

This patch set already allowed us to identify one kernel bug which is
now fixed.

Note that, whilst I'm proposing this series for upstream (based on
priorities of what we have out of tree) it hasn't previously been posted
so needs review. (I failed to send it out previously)

Based on: [PATCH 0/4] hw/cxl: Minor CXL emulation fixes and cleanup
Based on: [PATCH v2 0/3] hw/cxl: Add dummy ACPI QTG DSM

  hw/cxl: Add utility functions decoder interleave ways and target
    count.
  hw/cxl: Support 4 HDM decoders at all levels of topology
