Perhaps it is worth calling out the region ID allocator is shared
with nvdimms and other usecases.  I'm not really sure what the advantage
in doing that is, but it doesn't do any real harm.

That's rather ugly.  Maybe just push the ifdef down into the c file
where we will be shortening the list and it should be obvious what is
going on without needing the comment?  Much as I don't like ifdef
magic in the c files, it sometimes ends up cleaner.

Leaving region_id set to -1 seems interesting for ever
recovering from this error.  Perhaps a comment on how the magic
value is used.

That's a bit nasty as it gives the function side effects. Perhaps some
comments in the callers of this to highlight that memregion will either be freed
in here or handled over to the device.

Perhaps rename cxld here to make it clear it's a root decoder only.

As above, given it's the root decoder can we name it to make that
obvious?
