A few more things came to mind whilst reading the rest of the series. In particular
lifetime management for the doe structures.

I'm probably missing something, but what prevents new_dev from going away after
this assignment?  Perhaps a force unbind or driver removal.  Should we get a
reference?

Also it's possible we'll have multiple CDAT supporting DOEs so
I'd suggest checking if cxlds->cdata_doe is already set before setting it.

We could break out of the loop early, but I want to bolt the CMA doe detection
in there so I'd rather we didn't.  This is all subject to whether we attempt
to generalize this support and move it over to the PCI side of things.
