cxl/core: Generalize dport enumeration in the core

The core houses infrastructure for decoder resources. A CXL port's
dports are more closely related to decoder infrastructure than topology
enumeration. Implement generic PCI based dport enumeration in the core,
i.e. arrange for existing root port enumeration from cxl_acpi to share
code with switch port enumeration which just amounts to a small
difference in a pci_walk_bus() invocation once the appropriate 'struct
pci_bus' has been retrieved.

Set the convention that decoder objects are registered after all dports
are enumerated. This enables userspace to know when the CXL core is
finished establishing 'dportX' links underneath the 'portX' object.

tools/testing/cxl: Introduce a mocked-up CXL port hierarchy

Create an environment for CXL plumbing unit tests. Especially when it
comes to an algorithm for HDM Decoder (Host-managed Device Memory
Decoder) programming, the availability of an in-kernel-tree emulation
environment for CXL configuration complexity and corner cases speeds
development and deters regressions.

The approach taken mirrors what was done for tools/testing/nvdimm/. I.e.
an external module, cxl_test.ko built out of the tools/testing/cxl/
directory, provides mock implementations of kernel APIs and kernel
objects to simulate a real world device hierarchy.

One feedback for the tools/testing/nvdimm/ proposal was "why not do this
in QEMU?". In fact, the CXL development community has developed a QEMU
model for CXL [1]. However, there are a few blocking issues that keep
QEMU from being a tight fit for topology + provisioning unit tests:

1/ The QEMU community has yet to show interest in merging any of this
support that has had patches on the list since November 2020. So,
testing CXL to date involves building custom QEMU with out-of-tree
patches.

2/ CXL mechanisms like cross-host-bridge interleave do not have a clear
path to be emulated by QEMU without major infrastructure work. This
is easier to achieve with the alloc_mock_res() approach taken in this
patch to shortcut-define emulated system physical address ranges with
interleave behavior.

The QEMU enabling has been critical to get the driver off the ground,
and may still move forward, but it does not address the ongoing needs of
a regression testing environment and test driven development.

This patch adds an ACPI CXL Platform definition with emulated CXL
multi-ported host-bridges. A follow on patch adds emulated memory
expander devices.
