cxl/region: Attach endpoint decoders



CXL regions (interleave sets) are made up of a set of memory devices
where each device maps a portion of the interleave with one of its
decoders (see CXL 2.0 8.2.5.12 CXL HDM Decoder Capability Structure).
As endpoint decoders are identified by a provisioning tool they can be
added to a region provided the region interleave properties are set
(way, granularity, HPA) and DPA has been assigned to the decoder.

The attach event triggers several validation checks, for example:
- is the DPA sized appropriately for the region
- is the decoder reachable via the host-bridges identified by the
  region's root decoder
- is the device already active in a different region position slot
- are there already regions with a higher HPA active on a given port
  (per CXL 2.0 8.2.5.12.20 Committing Decoder Programming)

...and the attach event affords an opportunity to collect data and
resources relevant to later programming the target lists in switch
decoders, for example:
- allocate a decoder at each cxl_port in the decode chain
- for a given switch port, how many the region's endpoints are hosted
  through the port
- how many unique targets (next hops) does a port need to map to reach
  those endpoints

The act of reconciling this information and deploying it to the decoder
configuration is saved for a follow-on patch.
