The reasoning for this mentions 'external callers' yet this new struct
is added to a header file that is still internal to the kernel. It's
now available outside the CXL driver but not externally.

Does it belong in to include/uapi/linux/  and need to be documented
in the driver-api/cxl/ (same as cxl_mem.h)

If it stays internal to include/linux/ note that cxl-event.h 
already exists there w no 'cxl' subdir'. Maybe skip the subdir
addition, or mv cxl-event.h along with.
