Seems the ordinality requirement could be dropped if the definition was:

#define CXL_CMD(_id, _flags, sin, sout, _name, _enable, op)                    \
       [CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_##_id] = {
                             \
               { .id = CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_##_id,                              \
...

Then command 0 and 42 could be defined out of order in the table.
Especially if we need to config-disable or deprecate commands, I think
it would be useful if this table was tolerant to being sparse.

Not sure why this is needed, see comment below about @name in
cxl_mem_query_commands.

Why does the name for a command need to be shuffled back and forth
over the ioctl interface. Can't this be handled by a static lookup
table defined in the header?
