In preparation for LIBNVDIMM to manage labels on CXL devices deploy helpers that abstract the label type from the implementation. The CXL label format is mostly similar to the EFI label format with concepts / fields added, like dynamic region creation and label type guids, and other concepts removed like BLK-mode and interleave-set-cookie ids. CXL labels support checksums by default, but early versions of the EFI labels did not. Add a validate function that can return true in the case the label format does not implement a checksum.

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.
