The ACPI domain has a chance to be aware of CXL devices attached at
boot and were configured into the System Memory Map.

However, there may be caveats that limit device visibility like
platform firmware only scans CXL devices directly attached to root
ports, not behind switches.

It would be welcome if there was an ACPI data structure to indicate
"device-X is in scope for S3" which would mean that it has aux power
and all HDM decoders (the registers that enable access to CXL memory)
are restored by the BIOS before OS resume begins.

Absent that the OS can only assume that the BIOS has no knowledge of
any HDM configurations that were defined at run time by the OS, like
after hotplug, or configurations that the OS rewrote by triggering a
secondary bus reset to unlock what the BIOS had locked and put into
the EFI memory map.
