Just following the pattern that 'cxl_mem_*' functions take a cxlds parameter.

I'm going to leave this because it is tested.

Nope I've learned my lesson and checked first!

I've been beat up in the past for not combining statements before.  So I've a
bad habit sometimes.

This pattern is a bit more clear.  Since I'm adding the comment below I'll
