cxl/atl: Lock decoders that need address translation

Browse source

The current kernel implementation does not support endpoint setup with
Normalized Addressing. It only translates an endpoint's DPA to the SPA
range of the host bridge. Therefore, the endpoint address range cannot
be determined, making a non-auto setup impossible. If a decoder
requires address translation, reprogramming should be disabled and the
decoder locked.

The BIOS, however, provides all the necessary address translation
data, which the kernel can use to reconfigure endpoint decoders with
normalized addresses. Locking the decoders in the BIOS would prevent a
capable kernel (or other operating systems) from shutting down
auto-generated regions and managing resources dynamically.
