[v4,0/2] efi/cxl-cper: Report CXL CPER events through tracing

Message

If a device is configured for firmware first CXL event records are not
sent directly to the host, rather they are reported through the EFI
Common Platform Error Records (CPER).  EFI 2.10 Section N.2.14 defines
the CXL CPER to wrap a mostly CXL event payload.

The CXL sub-system uniquely has DPA to HPA translation information.[0]
It also already has event decoding/tracing.  Such translations are very
useful for users to determine which system issues may correspond to
specific hardware events.

The restructuring of the event data structures in 6.8 made sharing the
data between CPER/event logs more efficient.  Now re-wire the sending of
CPER records to the CXL sub-system.

Series status/background
========================

Smita and Jonathan have been a great help with this series.  Once again
thank you.

Unfortunately, with all the churn surrounding the bug which Dan
Carpenter found the maintainers were force to revert this work.

Testing
=======

Continue to use my quick hack in debugfs to facilitate easier testing.[1]
