This patch by itself causes cxl_test build bisection breakage:

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: cxl_mock -> cxl_core -> cxl_mock
depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: encrypted_keys
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!
make: *** [Makefile:1956: modules_install] Error 1

...so I will just squash it with the next patch and add a
co-developed-by.
