[RFC PATCH v3 12/16] cxl/mem: Add a "RAW" send command

From: Ben Widawsky
Date: Mon Jan 11 2021 - 19:55:29 EST


The CXL memory device send interface will have a number of supported
commands. The raw command is not such a command. Raw commands allow
userspace to send a specified opcode to the underlying hardware and
bypass all driver checks on the command. This is useful for a couple of
usecases, mainly:
1. Undocumented vendor specific hardware commands
2. Prototyping new hardware commands not yet supported by the driver

While this all sounds very powerful it comes with a couple of caveats:
1. Bug reports using raw commands will not get the same level of
attention as bug reports using supported commands (via taint).
2. Supported commands will be rejected by the RAW command.
