User space may send the SET_PARTITION_INFO mailbox command using the IOCTL interface. Inspect the input payload and fail if the immediate flag is set. This is the first instance of the driver inspecting an input payload from user space. Assume there will be more such cases and implement with an extensible helper. In order for the kernel to react to an immediate partition change it needs to assert that the change will not affect any active decode. At a minimum this requires validating that the device is using HDM decoders instead of the CXL DVSEC for decode, and that none of the active HDM decoders are affected by the partition change. For now, just fail until that support arrives.

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.
