Linux does not support unbalanced interleave configurations. As a result, all
endpoints in an interleave set must have the same ways and granularity.

+* The CXL root is configured to interleave across the two host bridges.

+This information is generated by the CXL driver reading the ACPI CEDT CMFWS.

+* One CXL Host Bridges has a single CXL Memory Expander Attached
+* No interleave is present.

+This chunk shows the CXL "bus" (root0) has 4 downstream ports attached to CXL
+Host Bridges. The `Root` can be considered the singular upstream port attached
+to the platform's memory controller - which routes memory requests to it.
+
+The `ports:root0` section lays out how each of these downstream ports are
+configured. If a port is not configured (id's 0, 1, and 4), they are omitted.
