I'm fine with this, but seems like it is worth breaking out as a precursor
where we can discuss merits of that change separate from the complexity
of the rest.

I don't mind that strongly though so if you keep this intact,

I'd have gone with !(cxld->flags & CXL_DECODER_F_ENABLE) but
this is consistent with exiting form, so fine as is.
