Region autodiscovery is the process of kernel creating 'struct cxl_region' object to represent active CXL memory ranges it finds already active in hardware when the driver loads. Typically this happens when platform firmware establishes CXL memory regions and then publishes them in the memory map. However, this can also happen in the case of kexec-reboot after the kernel has created regions. In the autodiscovery case the region creation process starts with a known endpoint decoder. Refactor attach_target() into a helper that is suitable to be called from either sysfs, for runtime region creation, or from cxl_port_probe() after it has enumerated all endpoint decoders. The cxl_port_probe() context is an async device-core probing context, so it is not appropriate to allow SIGTERM to interrupt the assembly process. Refactor attach_target() to take @cxled and @state as arguments where @state indicates whether waiting from the region rwsem is interruptible or not. No behavior change is intended.

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.
