The memory region backing this memory area still has to be initialized
and added in the QEMU system, but it will now be initialized for use by
linux after PCI/ACPI setup occurs and the CXL driver discovers it via
CDAT.

It's also still possible to assign this area a static memory region at
bool by setting up the SRATs in the ACPI tables, but that patch is not
upstream yet.
