[PATCH v6 9/9] cxl: Allow auto-committed BI hdm decoders
From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 15:37:21 EST
Allow auto-committed BI hdm decoders on sane platforms, rejecting
only broken paths (ie: one that cannot route BISnp, or BI paired
with a host-only target range type).
The respective region creation is done like any other committed
decoder - with cxlds->bi set by the time an decoder attaches.
A committed BI decoder under a window without the BI restriction is
refused (undefined behavior per the CFMWS Window Restrictions), as
is a committed decoder attaching to a region of a different
coherency model.
