For CXL-2.0-Type-3, BIOS is responsible for retrieving CDATs and
synthesizing SRAT/SLIT/HMAT tables for the CXL.mem that is mapped by
platform firmware. For CXL.mem that is mapped by the OS, there is no
requirement to publish updated ACPI tables. CXL.mem mapped by the OS
need only support native CXL memory enumeration and leave ACPI only
for static platform resources.
