[ Upstream commit 5161a55c069f53d88da49274cbef6e3c74eadea9 ]

CXL core is growing, and it's already arguably unmanageable. To support
future growth, move core functionality to a new directory and rename the
file to represent just bus support. Future work will remove non-bus
functionality.

Note that mem.h is renamed to cxlmem.h to avoid a namespace collision
with the global ARCH=um mem.h header.

Not a fix...

I'm guessing this got picked up on the basis of the Reported-by: tag?
I think that was added for a minor tweak as this went through review rather
than referring to the whole patch.

Or possibly because it was a precursor to the fix in the next patch.

Hmm.  Ben, Dan, does it make sense for these two to go into stable?

As of now, no, but having this will make future fixes much easier to cherry
pick.

Sasha, please drop this. The CXL subsystem is still in major feature
development. I would rather manually backport small fixes rather than
backport major code movement just to make small fix backport easier.

Let me know if there was a specific fix autosel was trying to resolve
and we'll take a look at whether it makes sense to do a custom
backport for -stable.
