One minor comment. With a sentence added on that (assuming I didn't miss
it somewhere)

> +The following 3 commands will be used to support CXL Features:
> +CXL spec r3.1 8.2.9.6.1 Get Supported Features (Opcode 0500h)
> +CXL spec r3.1 8.2.9.6.2 Get Feature (Opcode 0501h)
> +CXL spec r3.1 8.2.9.6.3 Set Feature (Opcode 0502h)

> +The "Get Supported Features" return data may be filtered by the kernel driver to

> +the kernel. The "Get Supported Features" command and the "Get Features" falls
> +under the fwctl policy of FWCTL_RPC_CONFIGURATION.
Document what 'filtered' means given change to zero sized set?
