Unlike a CXL memory expander in a VH topology that has at least one
intervening 'struct cxl_port' instance between itself and the CXL root
device, an RCD attaches one-level higher. For example:
VH
┌──────────┐
│ ACPI0017 │
│ root0 │
└─────┬────┘
│
┌─────┴────┐
│ dport0 │
┌─────┤ ACPI0016 ├─────┐
│ │ port1 │ │
│ └────┬─────┘ │
│ │ │
┌──┴───┐ ┌──┴───┐ ┌───┴──┐
│dport0│ │dport1│ │dport2│
│ RP0 │ │ RP1 │ │ RP2 │
└──────┘ └──┬───┘ └──────┘
│
┌───┴─────┐
│endpoint0│
│ port2 │
└─────────┘
...vs:
RCH
┌──────────┐
│ ACPI0017 │
│ root0 │
└────┬─────┘
│
┌───┴────┐
│ dport0 │
│ACPI0016│
└───┬────┘
│
┌────┴─────┐
│endpoint0 │
│ port1 │
└──────────┘
So arrange for endpoint port in the RCH/RCD case to appear directly
connected to the host-bridge in its singular role as a dport. Compare
that to the VH case where the host-bridge serves a dual role as a
'cxl_dport' for the CXL root device *and* a 'cxl_port' upstream port for
the Root Ports in the Root Complex that are modeled as 'cxl_dport'
instances in the CXL topology.
Another deviation from the VH case is that RCDs may need to look up
their component registers from the Root Complex Register Block (RCRB).
That platform firmware specified RCRB area is cached by the cxl_acpi
driver and conveyed via the host-bridge dport to the cxl_mem driver to
perform the cxl_rcrb_to_component() lookup for the endpoint port
(See 9.11.8 CXL Devices Attached to an RCH for the lookup of the
upstream port component registers).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
