This section reads somewhat awkward to me. Does this read any better?

One or more Dynamic Capacity (DC) partitions (and decoders) form a CXL software region. The region mode reflects composition of that entire software region. Decoder mode reflects a specific DC partition. DC partitions are also known as DC regions per CXL specification r3.1 but is not the same entity as CXL software regions.
