v1 -> v2:
- Move the code of new bridge to hw/pci-host/cxl.c
- Fix and simplify some logic on handling the different bridge types
Background
==========
Currently the base CXL support for arm platforms is only on Jonathan's
patches[1]. Some platform like SBSA-REF can be more like a real machine,
thus the support of cxl could be meaningful. However, the pxb-cxl-host
realization on this platform seems not satisfying their requirements[2].
New CXL HOST design
===================
This work defines a new cxl host bridge type (TYPE_CXL_HOST). This
could be considered as a prototype of an independent cxl host bridge
which combines gpex features (ecam, mmio windows & irq) and CXL features.
The root bus path of CXL_HOST is "0001:00", that would not affect the
original pcie host topology. In the previous, the pxb-cxl-host with
any cxl root ports and cxl endpoint devices would occupy the BDF
number of the original pcie domain. This new type provide a solution
to resolve the problem.
Remaining problems
==================
I tried to use 'object_resolve_path' but it could not work in
'cxl_fmws_link_targets', so I used 'TYPE_DEVICE' to match that.
