In linux kernel since version 5.2 (release Date: 2019-07-07)
The CXL specification defines a "CXL memory device" sub-class in the
PCI "memory controller" base class of devices. Device's identified by
this class code provide support for volatile and / or persistent
memory to be mapped into the system address map (Host-managed Device
Memory (HDM)).
Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to CXL memory expander
devices enumerated by the memory device class code for configuration
and management primarily via the mailbox interface. See Chapter 2.3
Type 3 CXL Device in the CXL 2.0 specification for more details.
If unsure say 'm'.
