So I am struggling with why is this a notifier chain vs something
simpler and more explicit, something like:

typedef (int)(*cxl_cper_event_fn)(struct cper_cxl_event_rec *rec)

int register_cxl_cper(cxl_cper_event_fn func)
{
guard(rwsem_write)(cxl_cper_rwsem);
if (cxl_cper_event)
return -EBUSY;
cxl_cper_event = func;
return 0;
}

...do the reverse on unregister and hold the rwsem for read while
invoking to hold off unregistration while event processing is in flight.

There are a couple properties of a blocking notifier chain that are
unwanted: chaining, only the CXL subsystem cares about seeing these
records, and loss of type-safety, no need to redirect through a (void *)
payload compared to a direct call. Overall makes the implementation more
explicit.

I like these defines, I notice that mbox.c uses "static const"
defintions for something similar. Perhaps unify on the #define method? I
think this define also wants a _GUID suffix to reduce potential
confusion between the _UUID variant and the cxl_event_log_type
definitions?
