hw/i386/pc.c: CXL Fixed Memory Window should not reserve e820 in bios
Early-boot e820 records will be inserted by the bios/efi/early boot software and be reported to the kernel via insert_resource. Later, when CXL drivers iterate through the regions again, they will insert another resource and make the RESERVED memory area a child. This RESERVED memory area causes the memory region to become unusable, and as a result attempting to create memory regions with `cxl create-region ...` Will fail due to the RESERVED area intersecting with the CXL window. During boot the following traceback is observed: 0xffffffff81101650 in insert_resource_expand_to_fit () 0xffffffff83d964c5 in e820__reserve_resources_late () 0xffffffff83e03210 in pcibios_resource_survey () 0xffffffff83e04f4a in pcibios_init () Which produces a call to reserve the CFMWS area: (gdb) p *new $54 = {start = 0x290000000, end = 0x2cfffffff, name = "Reserved", flags = 0x200, desc = 0x7, parent = 0x0, sibling = 0x0, child = 0x0} Later the Kernel parses ACPI tables and reserves the exact same area as the CXL Fixed Memory Window: 0xffffffff811016a4 in insert_resource_conflict () insert_resource () 0xffffffff81a81389 in cxl_parse_cfmws () 0xffffffff818c4a81 in call_handler () acpi_parse_entries_array () (gdb) p/x *new $59 = {start = 0x290000000, end = 0x2cfffffff, name = "CXL Window 0", flags = 0x200, desc = 0x0, parent = 0x0, sibling = 0x0, child = 0x0} This produces the following output in /proc/iomem: 590000000-68fffffff : CXL Window 0 590000000-68fffffff : Reserved This reserved area causes `get_free_mem_region()` to fail due to a check against `__region_intersects()`. Due to this reserved area, the intersect check will only ever return REGION_INTERSECTS, which causes `cxl create-region` to always fail.
