It's a good review question, but I think target_map[] is safe from those
shenanigans. For the CFMWS case interleave_ways == nr_targets, see the
@nr_tagets argument to cxl_root_decoder_alloc(). For the mid-level
switch decoder case it is protected by the fact that the decoder's
interleave_ways setting is sanity checked by the eiw_to_ways() call in
init_hdm_decoder(). So there's never any danger of walking off the end
of the target_map[] because that is allocated to support the
spec-defined hardware-max of CXL_DECODER_MAX_INTERLEAVE.

That check is for programming mid-level decoders where we find out at
run time that the interleave_ways of the region can not be satisfied by
one of the decoders in the chain, so that one is not about walking past
the end of a target list, that one is about detecting impossible region
configurations.
