Here is a straw-bikeshed that I hope conveys the following sentiments:

- "This is the long tail interface for all the knobs and tunables that
   are past the knee of the curve of diminishing returns for a
   cross-vendor kernel-wrapped ABI." 

- "This interface is for non-primary functionality of the device. An OSV
   is free to disable this interface and your device will still fulfill
   all its primary objectives."

In that light, how about "auxctl"?

I expect someone from linux-cxl@ land to take you up on this, and I
assume you would not say no to more than 1 co-maintainer. ...stay
tuned.
