Dan Williams 12f3856ad4 cxl/mbox: Add exclusive kernel command support
The CXL_PMEM driver expects exclusive control of the label storage area
space. Similar to the LIBNVDIMM expectation that the label storage area
is only writable from userspace when the corresponding memory device is
not active in any region, the expectation is the native CXL_PCI UAPI
path is disabled while the cxl_nvdimm for a given cxl_memdev device is
active in LIBNVDIMM.

Add the ability to toggle the availability of a given command for the
UAPI path. Use that new capability to shutdown changes to partitions and
the label storage area while the cxl_nvdimm device is actively proxying
commands for LIBNVDIMM.

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.
