Push these references into the code as well as comments.

Main thing in here is we need some references to the spec.
Some of the details are not that easy to find.
Otherwise some suggested refactors around the locking.

Thanks,

If you do the separate common maint header as suggested
in review of previous patch then there is
still one byte of extra rsvd to have here.
Got to love a trailing structure that starts with a reserved
byte...

This is called the memory sparing input payload in the spec.
Maybe name it closer to that?  + a reference. Took some finding!

I think this should be refactored to take this semaphore
then call another function.

		ret = down_read_interruptible(&cxl_region_rwsem);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
		ret = do_sparing_op();
		up_read(&cxl_region_rwsem);
		if (ret)
			return ret;


The reason being it is far too easy to miss a path.
Maybe we will get a nicer conditional guard shortly but we shouldn't
wait for that.

Feels like maybe a cxl_dpa_to_region_locked() is useful?  Perhaps a job for
another day though.

As before, if only supporting soft (which is fine for now) then
make it clear in the patch description.

I'd add trailing commas.  Whilst we don't expect to add stuff after
these we 'might'.

Trivial but maybe change labels to 
feat_sppr_done: 
etc so that you can provide them only when adding the new features
rather than always having to update when next feature is added.
Will reduce patch set a little is size which is nice and I think
will be no less clear.
