I'd failed to register we can easily get from cxlds to pci dev.
Had wrong mental model of what embedded what.

I'd rather see it in each of the setup calls.  Out in pci.c we
should just be doing minimum to find that max irq number.
e.g. the CPMU driver will rewalk and find it's vector number directly
from it's own register space.
