Re: [Problem ?] cxl list show nothing after reboot Re: [PATCH v2] cxl/pci: Fix disabling memory if DVSEC CXL Range does not match a CFMWS window

All guys,

In order to make the CXL memdev work again, i have to modify the QEMU side
where it resets the "DVSEC CXL Control" during reboot. A draft changes is as below:

Per 8.1.3.2 DVSEC CXL Control (Offset 0Ch), Default value of BIT(2) is 0. So is it reasonable
to have a reset dvsecs in QEMU during reboot?

Any comments @Janathan
