This series adds CXL support to the RISC-V virt machine, following the
approach used by the ARM virt machine: CXL host bridges (pxb-cxl) are
described as ACPI0016 devices, an ACPI0017 (CXLM) device is added to the
DSDT, and a CEDT table is built.  A bios-tables test is added to pin down
the generated ACPI tables.

Prerequisite
------------
The v2 posting depended on Alireza Sanaee's v8 series [1] (the
performant non-interleaved CFMW lookup path).  That series has since
been merged upstream, so this version has no outstanding prerequisite
and applies directly on current upstream master.

Changes since v2
----------------
  - hw/riscv/virt: The MMIO-window patch no longer touches the common
    gpex code (Igor).  The gpex_cfg.cxl_mmio32 field and the is_cxl
    static _CRS branch are dropped; the ACPI0016 _CRS now comes from the
    generic build_crs() path.  Since EDK2 does not enumerate the pxb-cxl
    expander bridge, riscv simulates the firmware PCI initialization
    (reserved window + depth-first bridge bus numbers) and re-applies it
    via a reset handler.
  - hw/riscv/virt: Drops the machine-global window/bus-range synthesis
    that did not scale past one pxb-cxl (Junjie).  The series targets a
    single CXL host bridge for now, documented in the commit message and
    a TODO.
  - hw/riscv/virt: CXL host register region and FMW setup folded into a
    single cxl_host_state_init() helper; redundant braces removed in
    create_fdt_pcie() (Daniel).
  - hw/riscv/virt-acpi-build: the _DEP commit message documents the
    kernel-compatibility behaviour (Alistair).
  - Carried review tags: Sunil V L's Reviewed-by on the _DEP patch and
    Alistair Francis's Acked-by on the test.

Changes since v1
---------------
  - hw/riscv/virt: PCIBus *bus renamed to PCIBus *pci_bus (Jonathan).
  - hw/riscv/virt: Dropped outer if (s->pci_bus) guard around
    cxl_hook_up_pxb_registers(); the function already handles a NULL
    bus internally (Jonathan).
  - hw/riscv/virt-acpi-build: All s->bus references updated to
    s->pci_bus; iasl -d decompiled DSDT fragment added to commit
    message.
  - hw/riscv/virt,gpex: Commit message expanded with PCI-to-PCI Bridge
    Spec §3.2.5.8/9/10 citations (Jonathan).
  - Original patch 4 ("Map committed HDM decoder ranges as RAM for
    direct DMA") dropped; superseded by Alireza Sanaee's v8 series [1],
    which is now merged upstream and thus no longer a prerequisite.
  - New patch 4: RISC-V ACPI bios-tables test for CXL, with golden AML
    files generated and included.

Test
----
Built riscv64-softmmu and ran the new bios-tables test together with the
existing riscv64 ACPI tests; all pass.  Also booted an RVA22 kernel with
pxb-cxl + cxl-rp + cxl-type3 + a CFMW: the root port and Type3 device
enumerate (0000:0c:00.0 / 0000:0d:00.0) and 'cxl list' reports the
memdev (4 GiB) and the CFMWS root decoder.

QEMU invocation (CXL-relevant options shown):

    qemu-system-riscv64 \
        -M virt,aia=aplic-imsic,acpi=on,cxl=on \
        -cpu rv64 -smp 2 -m 4G,maxmem=8G,slots=8 \
        -object memory-backend-ram,id=vmem0,share=on,size=4G \
        -device pxb-cxl,bus_nr=12,bus=pcie.0,id=cxl.1 \
        -device cxl-rp,port=0,bus=cxl.1,id=rp0,chassis=0,slot=2 \
        -device cxl-type3,bus=rp0,volatile-memdev=vmem0,id=cxl-vmem0 \
        -M cxl-fmw.0.targets.0=cxl.1,cxl-fmw.0.size=4G \
        ...

Verification (total system memory grows by 4 GiB after onlining):

    # cxl list
    # cxl enable-memdev mem0
    # cxl create-region -m -t ram -d decoder0.0 -w 1 mem0 -s 4G
    # daxctl online-memory dax0.0
    # free -h
