Primarily because we had a mix of some functions including the _pci
and some not, and I steered towards just dropping it. I think the
"PCI" aspect of the function is clear by its function signature, and
that was being muddied by passing @cxlm unnecessarily. So instead of:

cxl_pci_$foo(struct cxl_mem *cxlm...)

...I went with:

cxl_$foo(struct pci_dev *pdev...)

...concerns?
