Hmm, the below isn't once per region, it's once per cxl_core module
load.

This will end up failing the unit tests because those want to have a
clean kernel log from a "Call Trace" perspective. So either
dev_warn_once() or just live with the noise since the message is more
for awareness in production environments and test environments can
ignore it.
